It's not really a stand-off; we (LR, the company that makes X-Plane)
have patched X-Plane to dynamically detect either libopenal.so.0 or 1 so
that we will run without user mods on any distribution (including older
distros that haven't made this change).

It is only the older LR products that are no longer patched or modified
that require sim-linking. We don't feel great about this, but we also
can't crack open every legacy version of X-Plane any time a new
distribution changes a binary API.
