Comment (by kencu):

 We had worked out in the past that you couldn’t simply swap the curl
 library for a newer one, as base would build differently against the
 different versions of curl.

 So to use the dlopen method you mentioned, Clemens outlined that you would
 have to build base against the different curl versions and then
 dynamically choose the code path at runtime, using the newer path if
 available.

 This was a bit too much for anyone to take on, so the idea dropped there.
