I think I read on -dev that .la files were being removed. It seems to |
| 32 |
have been causing trouble when packages were being updating that were |
| 33 |
linked against each other. So, they made things so that they would work |
| 34 |
without them and removed them. |
| 35 |

That is oversimplified since it was a while back but I think that is |
| 37 |
normal nowadays. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this. |
