Keep in mind that distributions do and will change the default behavior 
of software components as they see fit anyway so if your use-case is 
having a desktop oriented distribution using musl support mDNS out of 
box, having the feature default off in musl would not make impossible 
having the distro default having it on.

brought in such hazardous default?
