Undid revision 1215658463 by DoebLoggs (talk). The criticism section includes one rant about binaries linked to musl not being compatible with glibc, one link stating that programs developed with glibc may not necessarily work with musl, and one guy complaining about having an out of date system. Delete the whole section.

== Criticism ==
Alpine Linux is mainly criticized for compatibility issues with the musl library,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hub.docker.com/_/python |title=Python – Docker Official Image |accessdate=November 4, 2023 |work=Docker Hub |quote="The main caveat to note is that it does use musl libc instead of glibc and friends, so software will often run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements/assumptions." }}</ref><ref name="Syazwan"/> as well as for package pinning issues.<ref name="Syazwan">{{cite web |url=https://dev.to/asyazwan/moving-away-from-alpine-30n4 |title=Moving away from Alpine |first=Ahmad |last=Syazwan |date=February 16, 2019 |work=dev.to }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://stschindler.medium.com/the-problem-with-docker-and-alpines-package-pinning-18346593e891 |title=The problem with Docker and Alpine's package pinning |first=Stefan |last=Schindler |work=Medium |date=March 23, 2018 }}</ref>
