It's not just possible and reasonable. It's how literally every other platform works.
It's also how the Linux Standard Base worked. It was intended to be a stable well-defined backwards-compatible set of libraries common across distributions. Of course the LSB had its share of problems but they had the right idea to bring stability to Linux as a platform for binary apps.

It's already hard to find people that want to fix bugs in open software, it would be even harder to find someone willing to fix it in a version 10 years old and then have them verify it working in all possible cases without regression.
