nothing stops you from using the old libraries and all that stuff forever?

- lmm 2y agoLinux distributions tend not to ship them - AIUI there is some unique problem with linux ld that makes it harder to have multiple versions of the same library installed. And lately there's a lot of tight coupling in the whole kernel/udev (or hal, remember hal?)/systemd chain, so even if old dynamic libraries are available, old dbus services might not be and you end up in much the same place.
