It can also reduce reliability, if both the system-provided and blastwave
versions of libraries end up linked into the same addresss space, and other
libraries end up calling different versions than they expect, especially of
things with unstable ABI's like OpenSSL, that may be used both by applications
and by lower-level libraries called by the applications.
