IMHO even though you don't say it explicitly, anyone reading this
will interpret it at meaning libvirt is expected to work with
musl, which is misleading
I read your message right after pushing, not seeing that Michal's reply
is just a start of a thread. Should I add "Note however that such
scenarios are not treated as supported" ? Or feel free to add whatever
wording seems appropriate.
