Evaluate a native Fallout.* compat-shim package #360
Decide whether to ship a compat-shim for native Fallout.* consumers, so the onion realignment (#359) is less disruptive for them.
Why
The realignment renamed namespaces, assemblies, and package IDs (ADR-0006). This breaks code using old Fallout.* names (e.g. using Fallout.Common;).
NUKE consumers: covered by the Nuke.* shims.
Native Fallout.* consumers: not covered. No Fallout.* -> Fallout.* bridge exists today. ADR-0006 deferred it on purpose.
Options
Ship compat packages that reclaim the old IDs (Fallout.Common, Fallout.Build, ...) and re-export to the new ring locations, using the existing prefix-remappable shim generator.
Or skip it and rely on fallout-migrate + docs.
Limits (a shim is not transparent)
Same gaps as the Nuke.* shim (SHIM001): sealed types, structs, enums, attributes, and any API that returns new types into old-typed variables cannot be shimmed cleanly.
[TypeForwardedTo] does not help across a namespace rename.
Still a major release either way. A shim reduces blast radius; it does not remove the break.
Decision driver
How many real Fallout.* consumers exist today? The rebrand is new, so it may be near zero. Build the shim only if there is a cohort to protect.
