Alpine is still linked against musl and not glibc, right? That is a rather large departure, and potentially more problematic than small package repository (usually the smaller repository, the easier it is to package your own stuff from scratch - I assume it beats rpm and deb at that).

Yes, but what of it? musl is POSIX compatible and almost all software works fine with it. It's simpler, easier to debug, and more reliable, and that easily outweighs the 30 seconds I have to spend patching the odd package with glibcisms.
