The save bandwidth? Do you mean memory? You want to link against the exact same code you developed and tested your program with. Ensuing you get and exact match is critical for robust code.

Yes, dynamic libraries save a descent amount of bandwidth when installing packages. Also, for the most part no I don't want the exact libraries always. If library creators have a security fix then I want the one with the fix, and there are plenty of times I've seen developers create something and barely maintain it afterwards. Package maintainers are really good at keeping packages for necessary libraries.
