If you want effective sandboxing, yeah.. pretty much. If no one can agree on which version of the library you're provided, then bring your own.


We should go back to static linking. With CI/CD generating new packages is trivially easy.

Then we can throw out all these fancy packaging tools like Snap and Flatpak, all the fancy half-done COW filesystems like Btrfs, all the fancy hidden-delta-synching stuff like OStree, and just ship one honking great binary in a single file that works on anything, no matter what the libc so it even works on musl or whatever.

Ha ha, only serious.
