    Musl and stable is one worst word combinations there is. I still have nighmares from broken packages under alpine that worked just fine under normal distro. It took us like a week to find the problem. Bad times.

        It’s not their official policy, but my personal philosophy with alpine goes like this:

        1. If it doesn’t work with musl/busybox, find an alternative that does
        2. If I can’t find an alternative, then I patch it myself
        3. If I don’t have the time/skill to patch it myself, then I throw it into a container that has glibc/gnu coreutils
