Exactly.

Also, back to the Qt example: we MUST keep support for apps built
against Qt 5.0 / old ABI, probably by keeping the old libraries from a
forked source package on the device or we need a mean to download this
runtime for Clicks built against 13.10.

For now, it's not acceptable to have Trusty images that can't run apps
built against Saucy SDK.
