--- Comment #12 from Jason Tibbitts <[email protected]> ---
Packaging this as a static library is completely fine.  Obviously not as good a
solution as a shared library were that possible, but not really an issue.  If
you check the FPC meeting logs you'll see explicit discussion of a static
library.  In fact, a static library has always been an acceptable solution to a
bundling issue in the case that making a shared library is not feasible.

To fix an issue in.....

Bundled code without tracking: patch every single user, if we can figure out
what actually bundles the code.

Bundled code with proper Provides: bundled(kwsys): patch and rebuild every
user, which we can easily find with --whatprovides.

Static library: Patch the library exactly once, rebuild it and rebuild all
users.

Shared library: Patch the library and rebuild it.

The first is never acceptable.  Any existing code should add the Provides: bit
as soon as bundling is discovered.
