it's hard to know when to build upon other people's work and when to avoid it.
for any work to succeed the scope has to be achievably small or at least self-contained, but also still useful. sucking less alone (obviously) is not enough. If we need packages we could just do it like tinycorelinux (the dcore part is the most extreme solution to all the mess). i've been trying void linux the last weeks, but vesa X11 doesn't work with musl for some stupid reasons (https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/4425). also even if they don't have systemd, there's a lot of other crap that i don't need either, probably worse than systemd :( and their shit isn't even statically compiled by default, most shit depends on everything when i look at ldd. musl with dlopen isn't a big improvement over glibc imho.
