    True, but also why is that a rule from upstream?

      Thats the only (sane without tons of work) way how you can have a rolling release distro without the need to compile everything yourself, everytime. Dependency issues will occure when glibc gets updated (or any other library) and you only update some programms but not all, its possible that those programms work or not.

        Thank you. I hadn’t considered the binary dependencies in a rolling release.
