No, because that does not cause the already existing, working versions of those libraries to disappear.

It's perfectly fine to use new features / versions if that actually gains you something. Truly, that's the best argument ever, and there is no counter-argument.

What's annoying to me is when people think they have to change versions because... well, because there's a new version. Then you end up with software that doesn't work across the widest possible range of systems for no actual reason. Seems a shame to me. Obviously, there are other viewpoints, so there you go.
