You are forgetting about elephant in the room - if every bug require rebuild of downstream then it is not only question of constraint it is also question of SSD cycles - you are effectively destroying someone drive faster. And btrfs actually worsens this problem - because instead of one Copy on Write of library you now have 2n copies of library within 2 copies of different apps. Now (reverting/ø) update will cost you…
