Yes, I didn't mention Alpine because people who love Arch Linux
are often reluctant to try out distributions that don't do things
the same way as Arch - and some stuck to Arch after the change to
systemd, even though they themselves loathe systemd, because it's
Arch. :)
But I agree that Alpine Linux is close: they use musl, and AFAIK
they use runit as their init system. Which is good per se, and which
would probably make an s6 alternative rather painless.
If I ever have to install a distribution again, I'll probably go
with Alpine, unless something even better comes along.
