The only real gripe I see in here is 'Alpine uses muslc'. And the only problem they have with musl is DNS resolution over UDP. I've written a fair amount of C over my career. And let me tell you, shipping statically compiled binaries that cal getaddrinfo with musl "Just works". That is not the case with glibc which expects to be dynamically linked. That and reasoning about the libc source is easier to do with musl as well. Both drepper and felker are highly skilled individuals, but felker makes solid calls based on kiss. I love it and think he does great work.
