These are all admirable goals and line up very well with my priorities, but I&#x27;m not sure why one wouldn&#x27;t simply use static linkage for everything. The notion of a single, versioned &quot;runtime&quot; for each app is a good one; perhaps narrowing the scope of dynamic linkage down to that makes the concept useful again.<p>&quot;Flatpak&quot; is certainly a better name than &quot;xdg-app&quot;.
