Most definitely. I consider dynamic linking to be a necessary evil which
should
not be used unless you have to. I _much_ prefer having my programs
completely
self-contained. The less that they rely on in terms of external libraries
the
better. Sure, there are plenty of cases where dynamic libraries are
necessary
(e.g. plugins), and the fact that they generally reduce disk space
consumption
is useful, but it's _so_ nice to not have to worry about the exact
versions of
everything else installed on the system.

Nobody cares about disk space this time. Imagine x00 applications run in
memory with
exact copy of libc.
