No idea. I would leave it "as is" (dam requires 4.0.0). Installing DAM
v1.0.0 on 3.8.x currently requires fiddling with in the dependencies
anyway, so this would just require 3.8 users to: 1) install
"dam_compat38", 2) adapt dam's dependencies.

Having dam_compat38 as a separate package allows you to tag it as
"experimental", clearly showing its status. And also allows you to "hand
it over" to someone that is more interested in having this work in 3.8
enviroments, and let you concentrate more on it working with 4.0.

Cheers,
