I remain unconvinced ;)
It is possible to use DSOs and pools together safely (c.f. httpd). It
is also possible to screw up pool heirarchies with any of the object
types APR exposes; I do not see DSOs as "special" from that perspective.
I think they are special because there are more ways you can screw up
with them than with most pool based resources. I think it's a valid
use case to want to have people use functions that came out of a DSO
and not have to explicitly know that it came out of a DSO, and these
days you basically HAVE to know that in order to get things right 100%
of the time.
