wasi-libc is used by rustc to build the wasm-wasi targets (recently in another variant called preview2, so there is still work going on there as well), and as such is not replaceable by wasix-libc (and I am not aware of any plans to change that upstream, but I am not that involved in that ecosystem). the whole wasm ecosystem is full of forks and somewhat related, yet incompatible "specs". Other than that, I am afraid I don't really have an opinion - but thanks for reaching out! :)
