Perhaps. But AFAIU, compat is based on major Emacs versions like "29". I
don't know whether they can provide also compat code for versions like "29.1".

A hotfix package could work. However, we aren't in that need yet. For
Tramp we have the instructions now, and there seems to be only org as
another ELPA package, which uses <pkg>-loaddefs.el. Don't know whether
they have problems installing the org package with Emacs 29.1.

Best regards, Michael.
