I&#x27;m a gentoo user and before preserved libs came in, updates to libpng required recompilation of almost everything on a system. So while libpng is unknown to most linux users, gentoo peeps are well aware of it.<p>Anyway, this is exactly the question I wanted to ask, whether stuff like this counts against bundling. I am, however, not very experienced in these things, I&#x27;m curious if anyone else who has more experience with distribution of software could weigh in on whether there is a way to mitigate this issue when it comes to people who choose to bundle software for ease for users&#x27; sake.
