Basically, the explanation is the following:

> We don't want to add external libraw dependency, until libraw 1.0.0 is out, due tobroken binary compatibility with API between release. Thiw will crash digiKam if you update system based libraw without to recompile libkdcraw.

This is a very weak explanation for the following reasons:
- so far libraw seems to be handling SONAME bumps when the ABI is broken (and
if it does not, it is a libraw issue)
- if you use distro packages, distro packagers will take care of recompiling
libkdcraw with the new libraw when its SONAME changes (otherwise no change is
needed and new libraw versions will be used fine)
- if you compile stuff on your own, you have to manage yourself the software
you recompile (and in any case, a library with bumped SONAME won't overwrite
the old one)
