What about transactional updates? Applications might have undefined behavior if their libraries or other assets are changed under their feet.

If there's a security issue, I want to be able to update libraries and such independently of applications rather than waiting for the application devs to do it.

I don't think it's caused a problem for me in the last 10 years or more. It may have and just forgotten about it, though. If it happens, it's not a huge problem to fix it.
