Bottom line is that the only libraries you should put in shared/lib are ones that you know are stable and won't be changing much, if at all (can anybody really know this?). Every application that depends on a shared library gets impacted when you upgrade the shared library. If there are several development teams responsible for applications on the server you now have to coordinate with each team to regression test every impacted application.
It's just not worth the time and effort.
