That's for sure. If I look at my current desktop setup, for example all 
xfce and kde packages depend on the same dedicated libraries. This way 
the applications stay really small and as much code as possible can be 
shared. Many applications are only 3 kB large, many others are between 10 
and 100 kB. If they all used static linking, I'm afraid I would have to 
buy another 32 GB ssd disk only for the binaries.
