Well, as far as I can tell, the problem is that this requires the updating of the 4050 packages we have at the moment. All of them. By hand. For rather limited gain.
Well, you don't get it as far as I can tell. As all paths stay the same, _not one single package_ has to be updated. That's what I mean with "compatible". "/usr/bin/file" is still "/usr/bin/file", but it could be a symlink instead of a file. Look at the .so libraries:
Okay, but how do those links get to the places they're supposed to be if you don't update packages to put them there? Anyway, I think there is a widely echoed polite "decent idea if we didn't already have all we need. No thank you". Cheers, -AT
