Wait, so you're telling me dynamic libraries are a way for distros to ship their org chart?
Maybe it's time in 2020 for automated and deterministic builds to allow anyone to ship a library update and have dependent packages being rebuilt automatically if needed.

The libraries are not maintained by the distro, they are maintained by the library maintainers; the distro just distributes them when new versions are available, after testing. > Maybe it's time in 2020 for automated and deterministic builds to allow anyone to ship a library update and have dependent packages being rebuilt automatically if needed. This would be nice, but it is not there yet for most languages/pacakges; and you still need to solve the problem of who will actually run those automatic builds.
