There are some systems (could be called interpreters) where the new versions of the libs can be loaded from the web in the console (something like ghci). What would it require to have a repository of old versions of the libs, so that no code would ever break, if the compiling machine had internet connections? Something like import Directory version 4.7.3 and somewhere the address of the repository?
