Does this mean that anything linking to libXt.6 has to be rebuilt?

If I'm not mistaken it would have been possible to install the libXt.6 2-level 
runtime library with a slightly different name, point the link library 
libXt.dylib to that new version, and maintain the flat libXt.6.dylib with its 
old name so that preexisting binaries continue(d) to work. If correct, why has 
that approach not been taken?
