I'm sure you're familiar with versions. What happens when your software depends on a libc that has a function that was removed on the newer version, or added since the previous one? Now older or newer versions of libc don't work with your software, even though they're "there".

Right now I'm downloading "sonoma_bottle" build through the homebrew. So they already build versions for every supported macos version. I'm pretty sure that macos libc will not remove functions in the minor upgrade, and having 2-3 builds for currently supported OSes is not a big deal.
