Static libs are security hole.  If I link my program against the static versions
of a library and a vulnerability is later fixed in the library I will still be
carrying around vulnerable code until I recompile against the newer version. 
With dynamic libs, only the library packager needs to be on the ball about
finding security holes and making updates.  The consumers of the library get the
hole closed after they update the library.

Versioning: Bear with me.  I'm trying to imagine if there's any reason that
versioning could be useful so we know we're not introducing broken behaviour. 
Since arts and esd both do it they either have thought of some corner case where
it's useful or they're both broken.  The latter is very likely (they're broken
in many other ways) but we want to make sure we actually are smarter than our
predecessors rather than falling into a problem that they avoided.
