yes, but the final answer to the second question is unclear,
depending on the library.  the further up you go, the more likely
it will be left unchanged, if only because there are so many more of them.
if a higher-level library uses a lower-level one and cheats, by being written
to a particular implementation of that library not to a supposedly agreed interface,
then there is less flexibility for replacing the latter, too.
