It unfortunately doesn't scale. People have to make sure that multiple applications actually do work with the single version of the library. We tried that, and it failed. Never mind that this approach still doesn't cover everything. E.g. templates in C++, macros and header changes in C, etc.

Thus simply treating updates as blobs, and computing diffs automatically will help to free humans to do actually useful work.
