Hi Garance
cc current,
Thanks for your well explained posting. I won't distract from new thread
"Unfortunate dynamic linking for everything"
except to note:

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. I meant:
- Current@ readers (that decide things), may have different
skill levels & preference of balance between risk & function, compared
with other user groups EG perhaps on hackers@ &/or isp@ etc.
- Some admins don't read @freebsd.org lists, to comment on the
fully dynamic decision, but will later install default systems
`out of the box', with later subsequent remote upgrades.
- Any extra later danger / limitation to them could affect FreeBSD reputation.

Did it immediately, Thanks.
