Yes and the systemd crowd wants to embrace and extinguish it as well [1]

- embedding-shape 9mo agoI got to line 1500 before I gave up, what from that indicates they want to "extinguish" musl?
- egorfine 9mo ago1. Support musl 2. Become mainstream with musl distros 3. Become dependency in practical terms 4. Then even software optimized for musl-based distros has to deal and support systemd
- embedding-shape 9mo agoBut do you have any proof for beyond #1? Seems like a far jump here, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
- egorfine 9mo agoNope. It's my view of the situation and I'm confident that will be the case. Not that it's an evil plan. Just a nature taking its course. This is how I see it.
- the_why_of_y 9mo agoSo if systemd refuses to support musl, it's "hindering the spread and innovation in the Linux space", and when they change their mind and work to add support for musl, it's "to embrace and extinguish it".
- egorfine 9mo agoParadoxically that's how I see it. Being an old fart and sysvinit pundit I am course wrong.
