There is one I can see in that it allows packagers to make their packages
depend on incompatible library versions, which makes their job easier (by
not having to care about compatibility, patching for different library
versions, etc.) at the expense of the users that are left with an unsolvable
Module Hell and the total impossibility to install the software they need.
But obviously, I think this is a very poor tradeoff. Helping packagers must
not happen at the end users' expense!
