Two layers:
* Runtime (base platform, responsibility of runtime maintainers)
* Application (including bundled dependencies not present in the
runtime)
It's a compromise between traditional distribution-style dynamic
linking for the most common dependencies (the runtime), plus bundling
for the less-common dependencies the application needs that are not
present in the runtime.
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. It was very helpful.
