Hi,

As long as libsodium remains supported I don't think it is a problem. Bear
in mind that distributions like Debian will most likely use libsodium,
because even though it is allowed, it is strongly discouraged to ship
statically linked binaries, and it makes the mainteiners life harder. See:
https://wiki.debian.org/StaticLinking

Kind regards,
