If the server and the libraries don't share the same files, then that's
subject only to the X protocol.  So we have two cases: (a) they shared
the same libraries, and you're correct in advising the poster that it's
a bad idea, or (b) they don't - and you're effectively stating that the
combination is not interoperable.

(whether you _prefer_ to support something is unrelated to this issue).
