You'd have to commit a failing patch first to break CI for all other 
developers. If you're only going to commit patches that pass those CI 
tasks, then this is not going to happen. Then it only becomes a question 
of how much feedback *you* get from a single CI run of your own patch.

I don't really have an opinion on this. I'm fine with having musl in the 
buildfarm only. I don't expect the core build itself to fail with musl 
anyway, this has been working fine for years. Andres asked for it to be 
added to CI, so maybe he sees more value on top of just "building with 
musl"?

Best,

Wolfgang
