Of course it is compatible.  Melpa always uses the latest commit.  And
Melpa-Stable uses the latest tag (which is 2.0.3):

  http://stable.melpa.org/#/pretty-mode

My understanding of Guix packaging policy is that we try to package the
latest releases (or latest tag snapshots if there is no release
tarball), and to use git commits only if there are significant bug or
security fixes.  Otherwise, why don't we use git-fetch everywhere?

BTW it is not "very old", it is 10 commits behind master, and all these
commits are rather minor, as you can see:

  https://github.com/akatov/pretty-mode/compare/2.0.3...master

Why git commit, and not the latest snapshot?
