I was OK with the change, but the fact that MZ has been fixed, and yes, it's a fix, because per man page the current usage should work... it stopped making sense to me. I'm still fine with the ping changes for the same reason. However. People will introduce more ping commands in the future, and we are going to rely on their cut'n'pasting to keep the codebase working. I don't think we should require the selftests to be musl-clean. We have enough trouble getting people write selftests, I don't think contributors should spread themselves thin with stuff like posix compliance and musl support in selftests. IMHO if it works under bash / glibc, it's golden. All of which is to say: ack, but you may have to send more patches like this in the future :)
