With static dependencies, you have correct dependency information, and
the worst that can happen is occasionally you might have to rebuild a
package where nothing substantial has changed. However, this is a
general issue with bumps (recompiling the whole thing for an init
script or language file change, recompiling the whole thing for a change
to only one of the binaries provided by a package, and so on), so it is
not a "static dependencies" problem.

With dynamic dependencies, you have incorrect dependency information,
your system randomly breaks on a sync, you sometimes can't uninstall
packages due to pkg_* breakage, uninstalling a package sometimes looks
safe but isn't, overlays don't work, subslots don't work, binaries
don't work, and dependencies can appear to be met when they aren't.

So in summary, dynamic dependencies are broken, and static dependencies
are correct, and the only issue you think you have with static
dependencies isn't a problem specific to static dependencies and isn't
reliably solved by dynamic dependencies.
