My policy is to include in CPSCompat only code that has alreay been  
checked in to the CMF 1.5 branch or (or Zope 2.8 branch), and excatly  
that code (no additional patches). This avoids the problem you  
mention, because I know the code I need will be in the next minor  
release, so everything gets to be maintained properly.
