Care to explain from what you gathered "recompile locally every application"? All I (and others) said is that "linking statically is almost always a bad idea and not the right answer for binary compatibility", that's very different from "recompile locally everything". Compile/link against the oldest libs/with oldest toolchain you want to support is nothing specific to Fedora, that's simply how e.g. symbol versioning was designed to work.
