But many library programmers do exactly the same thing, which can easily in the end lead to cascading effects. Because if there's an issue with a library then all the software which compiled against it will also be affected.... what would happen if there were any bugs discovered in your average compiler? Even compilers use libraries these days, and libraries which by themselves rely on others."
