Not always an option. Witness the recent firefox 2.0.0.8/2.0.0.9 update snafus, this is exactly the cases I was targeting when I filed the ticket on bodhi. Each firefox security update bumps ABI whether we want it to or not (although this is an indirect result of suboptimal design on the part of the gecko maintainers not to have a stable gecko-libs that is designed to be externally used).
