It gets even worse if you factor in security. With the static linking
you really need a := dependency on all libraries used as you don't
know whether an update is security related.

That said, I understand the structure. I don't like it, but I
understand it, given that it is primarily only intended to be used
within container/docker environments.

Good luck trying to get it to play nice with a package manager though...
