Days to make everything work, not days to compile, but yes I do have
quite a bit of additional files more than 300 I would say, that includes
old pkg like bbdb-2.35, for which I have written various hacks, that do
not work in more modern bbdb version mostly because of renaming
variables and functions.

For me this is not too conservative. 

But why, instead of deleting after a while the 
defalias, define-obsolete-variable-alias, defvaralias etc
not moving them into a file compat-obsolete.el or something like this?
