Might I suggest in the future purning down what you're responding to, 
to just that blurb?  At first read of your response I thought you were 
arguing against the ABI var itself (which didn't make a helluva lot of 
sense).

Meanwhile, yes, using preserve lib there still has some issues- the 
reason I mentioned it possibly being held onto is that if we're 
talking about something like openssl, having your system be horked for 
the intervening period isn't a great thing thus it may be useful as an 
option at the least.

That comment is in reference to if preserve-lib is still enabled for 
the rebuild.
