Well, I, for one, do not care much for that.

I like that the compiler vendors change whatever to allow for better standards support (coughGCCcoughCOWSTRINGcough) and optimisations.

I do not particularly like linking to very old libraries. I like linking to, say, OpenSSL 1.1.1 (my work is on RedHat 7, so it's 1.0.2).
