sounds like a good plan.
especially the stateful iconv feature could lead to undesired and hard
to detect breakage.

having a stable branch which only gets backports of bugfixes makes sense
if we aim for inclusion in conservative distributions.
if nothing else, it signals that we care about stability.
otoh it's much more work to maintain...
thinking about stability, it also seems necessary to strengthen musl's
web infrastructure. we should at least have links to download mirrors
like http://foss.aueb.gr/mirrors/linux/musl-libc/ (not up-to-date, it
seems, thus adding ivan to CC) or automatically updated git mirrors like
ftp://ftp.barfooze.de/pub/mirror/musl-libc.org/index.html
, http://repo.or.cz/w/musl.git or https://github.com/jhuntwork/musl
