And it will become unbloated by converging on a new common set of core
dynamic libraries, and optimizing them (like pango & qt people are
doing for harfbuzz, like popler did before, etc)

Static linking is not the solution. Experience shows it only leads to
many forks of the same code that bloat memory usage and increase
maintenance.
