So for keeping 21.1 alive we could add such a code to all packages that needs it.
This seems less ideal so, alternatively, could that be placed in some generic forward
compatibility place so that it is only needed to add it once?
And most important will the code not only compile but work as expected as well? If
compile time errors only turn into run time errors not much is gained.
