Comment (by tazotodua):

 I am worried, why no-one read my suggestion?

 I will repeat once again, what if the libraries were requested by version
 (from the parent plugin), like:

 require_library('library-name', '1.32');

 thus, WP can create the structure of frameworks, like this:

 wp-content/framework/library-name/1.32
 wp-content/framework/library-name/1.31
 ....
 wp-content/framework/library-name/latest    //<---- this could always be a
 latest version


 and once in a while, WP should check all plugins/themes, and not-requested
 libraries/frameworks should be removed from site.
