Thanks.

The Compiz repository is intended to be switched to the stable version.
My main reasoning for putting effort into Compiz packaging is, to provide 
one ICC colour managed window manager under openSUSE through CompICC. 
There are currently no alternatives for integrated whole screen colour 
correction under Linux.
