It was on the list for 4th edition (rob was a fan) but too much was
going on in many ways for it to have a chance. I might bring my
Inferno model into a private plan9 kernel and see if I like it.

A fashion? I wish it would die. But then again my wardrobe says
something about doing something for the helluva it.

No need to dream. The jump from the Inferno port to a plan9 port
is largely known territory. It's just a whacky mips and so if you are
willing to get the mmu/tlb stuff right then you are almost there. The
most interesting part is deciding what to do about graphics. /dev/draw
would be an easy way out (the linux guys just went for a slow X) but
the chip is more fun than that.
