Just thought i'd mention, i did actually make this change for Manjaro a 
while back:
https://github.com/manjaro/packages-community/tree/master/compiz08

(though i used "08", not "0.8"... hmmm...)

I (or someone else) could submit all the packages to AUR and then do 
merge requests for all the old ones...
