yeah, same here. i agree with Brantley's original point but one
counterpoint i can think of is that many (most?) of the bugs fixed in
shared libs fall into in the "just wrong, wrong, wrong and any
application that used this was just lucky to have worked in the first
place if it even worked at all" category. breaking one program in order
to fix the other 49 that were just lucky to have worked in the first
place could still be considered a win. however, i'm not advocating
shared libs in plan 9. the issue is made pretty much moot by having a
sane and reliable build system. build the new bins and move on with
your life...
