Musl 1.2.4 adds TCP DNS fallback

Because as we all know the standard never changes potentially introducing new features, allows no variability and bugs don’t exist.

It must be nice living in your. theoretical world. Here in the real world, I like libraries to actually help me do what I want to do rather than be needlessly annoying to take a stand no one actually cares about. But that’s me. Clearly it serves Musl right given the massive amount of use it’s seeing. Hmm, wait a minute…

Okay, so nobody uses it and you can stop complaining because it'll never come up.

Well I would like to use it. It’s code is mostly sane, easier to understand than glibc and it would make sense in a lot of places where performances are not critical. That’s why I am so annoyed by the non sense its developers keep pulling out. It’s an incomprehensible situation because they get absolutely nothing out of it. They are basically annoying people for the sake of it. It’s incredible that changes like the one we are commenting on which are just sanity being restored have to come from evolution of the standard.
