I package and release Tramp for years. When I started, it was half-compatible with Emacs 19. Your scenario doesn't sound appealing to me. Too much hand work. If there is a general purpose compatibility package, I would like to include it with minimal adaptation from my side. Otherwise, keeping an own compatibility package is easier to handle.
