    Containers are a form of static linking. just because they are different files inside the image, doesn’t mean they’re not effectively statically linked, if they can only be upgraded together

    If I update my shared libraries, that application uses its own ‘statically linked’ libraries and doesn’t pick up the changes. Exactly like what happens with a normal statically linked binary.

    I avoid static linking like the plague.
