Uncommon by all uses of shared libraries maybe, but certainly not uncommon for security-oriented libraries. A couple times per year is WAY more than often enough to be worth shared libraries, as otherwise you're talking about rebuilding much of the world multiple times per year per security-oriented library. And nearly all libraries eventually become "security-oriented libraries", given enough time. Everything is a hacking target eventually.
