I say, in a good world, shared libraries shouldn't exist.

Because, in a good world, unless someone proof something is really
necessary, it shouldn't exist.

I have already proved that

	1) its space saving is negligible

	2) shared libraries dose not help software version up
	   from /etc/hosts to DNS

So, why you think shared libraries should exist?

Some claimed that with examples. And, with their examples, I made
measurement and investigation and proved they are wrong. So, there is
no tradeoff, so far.
