// You are not using Plan 9 anymore then, rather you are

I don't think it's that simple. I understand the value of running a
native Plan 9 installation (self-sufficiency is an almost universal
value), but we don't hear the same complaints when we look at
Inferno: stuff built from /emu is just as much "real" Inferno as
stuff built from /os. We don't think of using the other hardware
virtualizers as not being "real" Plan 9, even the ones that take
kernel modifications.

9vx just feels like cheating because it's so much easier.
