In our case, we have very long release cycles. Usually only once a
year at best. We have users on virtually all platforms. We can't
assume the OS/distribution it will be running on will have the library
we're hoping for.

In the perfect world, sure all platforms would all be running the same
versions of a given lib at a given time... In practice it never
happens.
