A bit of effort by me and Michal helped make this the case, and it helped us
uncover some potential issues.  I am not documenting it as supported or adding
an Alpine container into the CI, but since there were some distribution bugs
mentioning libvirt issues I thing it would be nice of us to notify those
distribution maintainers that read our release news.

 * **Bug fixes**

+    distribution with musl libc.

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.

Daniel
