I'm almost indifferent on the subject. But in practice I believe people

compatibility.... but like I said. I wouldn't mind either way.
That worries me too ... but I think we *must* try to be strict about it.
Is there any way we could devise an automated test for binary
compatibility breakage?
I once tried that... but the problem is you can only do that for the
installed libraries. Is there a way I can ask a program to reveal what
it needs? I only found tools that said what a lib supplies.
