Yes, sorry, I keep forgetting about auto-import feature, I guess I'm just

auto-import magic. It's true that projects using auto-import could live
with falling back to a static library. But consider that
auto-importing is
relatively new so there should be proportionally few projects using it,
hence IMHO the risk of breakage remains reasonably small.
Most projects using libtool come from Unix/Linux where "auto-import" is
the default so it can be seen that most projects already depend on it
(and the main issue for them is to use --no-undefined so libtool will
build a DLL). Primarily programs which originated under Windows (or
really care about Windows) use the dllexport/dllimport facilities.
