I skimmed it. TL;DR: Musl developers don't want to make it 100% compatible with glibc because a lot of glibc is retarded; Systemd developers don't want to avoid glibc functionality in favour of pure and holy POSIX because a lot of POSIX is retarded, and nobody actually runs pure POSIX Linux systems anyway.

Seems to me they are both right. Probably the best solution is a compromise where Musl implements some of the most commonly used / difficult to emulate functions, and systemd avoids using the rest. Won't hold my breath though.
