Hmm. And I guess postfix/sendmail/exim4/ssmtp would be another, so I see your point.
However, with my distro, I can trivially easily switch back and forth between
MTA/MUA's, in fact, I just switched between a bunch of them that last week.
Jack/Ardour's allergy to distributions in general (and Debian in particular) has made
this harder to manage. If I could go "sudo apt-get install
jack-flavor-of-the-month" and it switches over, then go "sudo apt-get install
jackd-original" to switch back, then it's no problemo.
There are also other servers/services like Apache/Nginx/thttpd/lighthttpd, which *can*
coexist or even all run simultaneously on a single machine. That might be another model
for making the various jacks easier to switch between. I remember some discussion of this
many months or years ago, but I don't know how that turned out.

yes, but firefox, mozilla, iceweasel, emacs,
xemacs, lucid emacs, etc.
can happily coexist on my system with no problem. ?in fact, I can fire
all of them up all at once.
try that with different versions of an NFS server ....
various flavors of jack on the other hand...
jack is a server plus a library. if the versions don't match, kaboom.
the other examples are either applications or just libraries. there's
not a whole lot of *nix software that consists of a server/library
pair. X11 would be the other canonical example.
