If we discourage from separately installing these libraries, who will do the required in-tree-bootstrap testing before a release on the Hosts we care for? Can we at least recommend using the OS vendors versions of the libraries in case they match our minimum (not recommended) version requirements? Is our in-tree build support robust enough against newer/older OS vendor installed copies?
