And do you recompile everything in your system each time you upgrade GCC or 
libc? Or do you light a candle and pray to $DEITY to make your computer boot 
faster?

Seriously. This is a complex issue, but it's engineering and science. You do 
_not_ need to recompile KDE because you upgraded to Qt 4.5 because it's 
binary compatible with Qt 4.4. If you didn't knew, then it's OK. If you knew 
but experienced bugs in the past, well, I think that you should report this 
bugs, because it's a serious issue that should be fixed, not hidden.

I doubt that this happened often in the past, though, because you simply don't 
have the chance of recompiling Google Earth, VirtualBox, Opera, or any other 
proprietary application that uses Qt and that comes without the source code, 
so is a major release blocker.
