Have you ever tried producing a binary (even for a piece of free
software) that works across several releases/distros? Though job.
Exchanging perceived core system libraries like libjpeg that never
changed the last 100 years with incompatible ones doesn't make the
job easier. Including or statically linking such libraries means you
have to maintain them yourself, ie track security fixes etc and you
potentially lack distro integration. That's not nice either but
usually what ISVs do.
