Meh, I can see why this concept is tempting for desktop systems
but it makes me feel that 5 years from now I'll have to build
my own Linux-From-Scratch distro to preserve kind of user
experience I initially loved Linux for (minimal overhead,
running same system on both your tiny media server and power
desktop). "A runtime can be thought of as a /usr filesystem
with fixed contents. When a bundled app gets run, the runtime
it needs gets mounted at /usr." :(
I don't know at what point dynamic libraries came to be
considered harmful, but it certainly seems to be the case now.
And even if they are dynamic inside the container, every program
shipping an individual copy of the libs means they might as well
be statically compiled into it.
