In a way it is strange that an open source library can be just as constrained as a closed source library in this way. I believe that FreeType changed its API last year, which involved fixing many dependent packages. The Linux kernel seems to change its API every few minutes, but I guess userspace is largely insulated from the churn by sticking to the POSIX parts of glibc. How do other projects deal with this issue?
