I wonder when that text was written. While we could certainly consider
it, lack of any apparent need so far suggests that it wouldn't meet
the modern criteria for inclusion in musl.
The main motivation I could potentially see flipping this is if there
are a significant number of programs shipping their own (e.g. gnulib?)
versions of fts, that would save significant code-duplication disk
space (or get better behavior of some sort) if using a shared copy in
libc.
