Having it as a separate loadable library / bundle has definite value, but
that’s not what I was asking. The -base package, for example, had an optional
loadable bundle for using OpenSSL, but we never released that as a separate
package. Releasing a single tarball of -gui that included -back would make
version mismatches harder and would not lose the ability to install multiple
back ends.
