Apps don't need to make use of the affected APIs in glibc and even if they do the problem is not a show stopper as long as you keep the app build in sync. So while this is a potential problem, it is not a blocking problem that justifies throwing the baby out with the bath water. > Other reasons are like constant changes in kernel<>userspace changes on all > unices are part of the problem as well. Linux doesn't constantly break kernel<->user ABI, so that's a non-issue.
