But this one in particular vastly reduces maintenance, doesn’t do anything at all to performance, and only arguably adds complexity, I think it needs to be case by case.
It does not reduces maintenance. And it costs hard drive, and with heavy use, probably ram too
Redundancy of dependencies in different versions, might also be loaded in ram in different version, which can add its own kind of problems in some circumstances.
Maintenance is only reduced on the surface level. The complexity you don’t see as a problem is the actual maintenance problem. It’s not a problem only if you’re not the one dealing with integration, maintenance or security.
It absolutely does, package maintainers just have to maintain ONE package for all distros.
And it costs hard drive, and with heavy use, probably ram too
This isn’t performance really, it’s storage, and I don’t think it actually impacts ram.

This is a case you’re going to have to try a lot harder to make, I don’t see what you’re saying at all.
