Having the library in world ties you to a particular name for that |
| 23 |
library, among (potentially) other things. That could conceivably lead |
| 24 |
to ping-ponging if an update moves it away from some piece of that |
| 25 |
original description, and than another update notices that it's |
| 26 |
missing. |
