...which of course kills the idea of a binary distribution, in practical
terms. You can't install package X without upgrading library Y by two
micro steps -- otoh the vital package Z depends too strongly on micro
(probably it's not serious, but do you know?) version. You see things of
this kind in Debian. OTOH distros are becoming so huge that it's more
and more of a pain to create frozen self-consistent `versions'.
What to do?
(I think Rob's fight to ``hide'' micro version as much as possible
is a laudable step in this direction).
