Yes, corrected.

Yeah, but Alpine are not doing that, or at least not at the time I evaluated. I got tired of finding distro supplied packages that just didn't work as expected because things broke unexpectedly because of musl.

I think its important to recognise that these are community projects -- they don't owe you anything so don't misunderstand this "responsibility" you're citing.

If something is an issue that's important to you, these things get solved when people like yourself make it known constructively with test cases or bug reports.
