would Frameworks solve this problem? If XXX is bundled as a framework, and product A needs one version and B needs another, then they either have to bundle it with their own product or there will be a conflict, frameworks or no frameworks.

Actually, frameworks are supposed to solve this problem by keeping
different versions of the libraries. If your program needs version B, it asks for that version - it should get it.

A framework is a container for libraries that offers extra features over
a plain old unix directory.


Now that is a good feature. Other systems don't handle this gracefully at all.
