What happens if an Applications application uses an extragear lib? or an
extragear application uses an application lib?

Yes. this will happen.

And then you have a abi/api unstable library out of sync with the
application it uses. And that's highly annoying.

Seen before with e.g. Digikam/Gwenview/KPhotoAlbum and
libkipi/libkexiv2/...


I don't see why we need a extra organizational level to house something
we should try to avoid to have in the fist place.

Let's get all good libraries made frameworks.
