Platforms where no maintainer is able to build/test locally to resolve issues are already annoying, and not having regular CI is worse. That's why I'm not sure we want to provide Alpine wheels even if our wheel build machinery setup improves. In the end it becomes a maintainer bandwidth issue. Cheers, Ralf
