Because it is a library. Users don't use libraries, they use apps
to perform tasks. Now, I can see how we can switch an app (say
XMMS) with another one that allows the user to perform the same
task. That's OK. But users alo use apps that we don't distribute, 
and it's *those* that we shouldn't break. If we expect users to use
*only* the apps we ship, then you'd be right. But in that case
we wouldn't have a platform, because we accept a priori that the
user will never use other apps.

I don't think we want that.
