Distributing binaries built against musl is counter-intuitive to me. When I run them on my machine, they're dynamically linked to glibc!
The main advantage AIUI is that you don't depend on new glibc features, so you get a more portable executable.

Do any package managers use bittorrent? I associate bittorrent with distributing large files, but it seems like it would really help scaling.
