"Support for compilation under musl" <-- Wondering if the guy behind this is the one that appeared with bunch patches on the mailinglist

...So they like what systemd actually does as an init system... enough to fork it... but not even try and send patches upstream?

I think they want to benefit from work done by various upstreams (socket activation, service unit files).
Also not sending patches to systemd upstream is good – no one is interested in patches removing parts of systemd or reimplementing parts of libc.
But TBH, like Jóhann mentioned, there was a couple of patches sent lately, adding musl-library compatibility. The ones that made sense were accepted and included in systemd.
