Worse, because dependencies of dependencies are also handled this way, programs/libraries tend to require very recent versions, and different versions aren't binary compatible This is in practice not a problem. Vast majority of apps available for example in Arch Linux does depende on the same versi...

Re: Is Linux getting friendlier to portability?
