Organisations that use ball of mud releases have all the code in a large executable. This may exceed the standard ELF maximum size of 4gb. While this isn't a blocker, this is time-consuming to link, to copy to release servers, and, god forbid you break it out into shared libraries, the startup cost of linking will be unpleasant. This is also a reason behind moving from a ball mud to microservices (nee SOA).
