I did it without formal consultation because backing down to only
requiring 2.0.1 wouldn't be at all complicated if the breakage turns
out to be serious. I judged that the only effective way to get a read
on that was to try the change and see how many platform maintainers
actually went "ow!".

No. It's a harmless glitch caused by the way the recipe is factored. It might
go away soon.
The TL;DR version of the IRC conversation is that requiring 2.3.0
(which shipped in early 2013) is the price we have to pay to get rid
of the home-brewed shared-library handling.
