      Alpine is not manylinux compatible as is. It can be tricked into advertising
      as such, but this comes with several problems attached.
      For once it is using muslc instead of glibc. Even though Python packages do
      install as binary manylinux wheels it is not guaranteed that that they will
      properly execute as glic dependencies could be unsatisfied.
      
      Using slim-buster Python images renders container images that are similar in
      size compared to the alpine ones and incurs the benefits of having a standard
      glibc with it.
