RAM is cheap mmmkay?

Or at least it used to be when they designed the thing…

Is it a RAM problem though? My understanding is that each process loads the shared library in its own memory space, so it's only a ROM/HDD space problem.

If you stop using shared libraries each application will have its own copy in ram…

The problem is vulnerable dependencies and having to update hundreds of binaries when a vuln is fixed.
