docs/compat.md had no statement of whether @angular/fire/compat is supported, and the v7 upgrade guide still told readers to stop at the compatibility API because the modular API was not feature complete, a sentence written for the 7.0 release. The new section records the decision for 22: the compatibility API is supported and kept working, its specs run in the same suite, it receives bug fixes and no new features, and no removal is planned. The v7 guide line now points at that section.

docs/compat.mdnever said whether@angular/fire/compatis supported, and the v7 upgrade guide still told readers to stop at the compatibility API because the modular API "isn't feature complete", a sentence from the 7.0 release. #3336 asked for a direct answer in 2023 and never got one. This writes the answer down.Changes
docs/compat.mdgets a "Support status" section: the compatibility API is supported and kept working on every Angular and Firebase version AngularFire supports, its specs run in the same test suite as the modular API, it receives bug fixes and no new features, and there is no planned removal date. Readers who depend on it can keep upgrading without migrating.docs/version-7-upgrade.md: the bolded line becomes "You can stop here if the compatibility API covers your needs.", followed by the support summary and a link to the new section.Fixes #3336
