what's the point of keeping static libs?
Redist unnecessary, single executable, immunity to DLL replacement mischief (consider antivirus products).
Have the problems with mixing binaries compiled against the DLL with others compiled against the static lib been fixed in the new refactor? My big problem with the static libs was always that some selfish vendor would use the static libs and balls everything up for everyone else in the same process space. This is why I'd really like the static libs to permanently go away. OTOH, if those interop problems have been fixed, I might switch to the static libs myself.
