looks good! once the compass PR is deployed (https://github.com/ethyca/fides-services/pull/126) it'd be nice just to get some end-to-end testing in place to make sure we haven't missed any "gotchas" 👍

@adamsachs end-to-end testing looked good, I'd like to merge this and publish a small fideslang release, and then get the fides PR merged if you're good with it.

I pushed alpha tag 2.2.2a0, added to Fides requirements ethyca/fides#4434, and then used that latest commit in a fidesplus end-to-end test to get compass staging functionality.

Things look great to me - you create a System with Privacy Declarations via the API directly, they default to having a flexible legal basis. Compass data seems to be coming in as True or False now instead of having nulls.
