There's still about 18 open bugs on the tracker[1] for it. You can see |
| 8 |
how many problems it had been causing by the huge number of blocking bugs. |

I've been using it for a pretty long time now (probably a couple weeks |
| 11 |
after Diego first blogged about it) and don't have many problems at all |
| 12 |
(now), but every once in a while a version bump or a new package will |
| 13 |
just fail to compile properly and the problem leads back to as-needed. |
| 14 |
I'm not sure whether ~arch users would be able to catch all the |
| 15 |
as-needed bugs before they hit stable, so I couldn't say whether it |
| 16 |
should be enabled by default or not. |

I also don't think it would completely eliminate the problems that Diego |
| 19 |
mentioned with preserve-libs (there could still be instances where bar |
| 20 |
and foo both NEEDED thing.so, but bar had been compiled more recently |
| 21 |
and needed thing.so.1 whilst foo needed thing.so.0, and starting bar |
| 22 |
would break trying to load both)... |
