Because it is a library. Users don't use libraries, they use apps to perform tasks. Now, I can see how we can switch an app (say XMMS) with another one that allows the user to perform the same task. That's OK. But users alo use apps that we don't distribute, and it's *those* that we shouldn't break. If we expect users to use *only* the apps we ship, then you'd be right. But in that case we wouldn't have a platform, because we accept a priori that the user will never use other apps. I don't think we want that. -- Dimi.
