The merit is allowing users to fix software provided they have the
libraries it depends on. This was not possible not too long ago, and it is
still not possible for a lot of software out there. Being able to re-link
the software with patched libraries might have seemed a nice solution back
then, when people were more used to hacking their own problems.
