Except doing that is A Bad Thing, because if you change the kernel
interface out from under the library the old libraries won't work.
There are certainly times when you have to change the kernel
interfaces (fixing time_t, widening out uid/gids, etc) but, even
if all of the user programs go in through libfoo.a, it's something
that should be done with the knowledge that it's going to throw
many spanners into the works for everyone.
