No, it won't stop working. Much the same effect can be achieved with
the svn:externals property. In some ways, it won't be _quite_ as nice,
but it will be almost as nice. :-) I'm not sure if you can specify a
specific version of a repository in an svn:externals declaration, but if
you can, I can't see a huge different.

I thought it may have been a mistake at first because 'compat.py' wasn't
under CVS control.

Have fun (if at all possible),
