The mistake on 14c985cffa6c was adding a macro that was not used
for anything.

Yes, I agree this was (also) a mistake.

I agree completely. :)

Yes, I agree. I just thought you had a reason to believe the
existing empty macro was useful for something.
I did ask Igor to remove the PC_COMPAT_2_8 macro[1]. Michael and
Igor insisted that this should be done by a separate patch. That
additional patch was never written, though, and that's also my
fault (I just forgot about it after sending my R-b).
