Without context, I think what this guy is pissed off about is that this project enables people to use alpine to run proprietary software.
In any case, the Alpine people would know, and they apparently think it's a problem.
>Without context,
But you have context here! It has issues with symbol versioning! There is "strange behavior and possible crashes, ". This makes alpine look bad, because people think it's the alpine project's fault!

Please don't assume everyone is a "guy". In this case, Ariadne is not a "he" (she uses "she"), so a male-coded word like "guy" is ill-fitting.
FROM frolvlad/alpine-glibc
Is "alpine-glibc" an official project and someone just helpfully made the image (or an image including an official glibc package)? Or is this a prerelease?
Without a deep knowledge of alpine (or now reading this post) I couldn't answer any of these questions and I'm not sure I wouldn't try to go to alpine for bug reports. I think there's a reasonable potential for confusion, even with the namespace. (but granted, I don't use docker either, so maybe this is a common thing)
And I assume the alpine people (like the author) know that they get bug reports for it and that the issues with it cause bad publicity, and that that's the context for the post and the proposal to block the package.
If you want Alpine, you do FROM alpine:(version).

Please do not mince words, people have a tenancy to refer to their own gender identity when referring to people who's gender identity they do not know. You knew what they meant.
from the hn guidelines:

Both of those statements are bad faith.
So to circle back around on this, some people feel like using male as the default gender is rude and exclusionary. Try assuming people are women, just as an experiment, and see what sort of push back you get. This isn't in any way a bad faith argument.
