--- Comment #5 from Rex Dieter <rdieter@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
You did not address the ABI concern.  Upstream explicitly says that even API
may not be stable here... so that implies that it's binary interface is of
little or no concern either.

Why a bundled *shared* library never has problems... is because the app and the
library are always rebuilt (and relinked) together.  That will not be the case
if kwsys lib is rebuilt and upgraded separately.

At least with a static lib, applications (runtime) would be safe from such
breakage, and we'd be tracking all of kwsys consumers anyway... and can rebuild
things as needed.

It's your package, if you want to be the one to deal with the fallout of
debugging and fixing applications that break whenever kwsys is updated, then go
for it.
