If I'm understanding correctly this proposal basically requires one runtime per library or group of related libraries.

Apps choose one single runtime.

Any library the app needs that is not in that runtime must be provided by the app.

Therefore, the app is responsible for security updates of all libraries it used that were not provided by the runtime.

Fail.
