There's also a security advantage to reducing the amount of extra stuff
running on the same machine as the file service.  One of the things that
really impressed me on my first encounter with Plan 9 was the clean
separation of file service from everything else, in the original stand-alone
fs.  Little danger of a buffer overflow being exploited to exec a shell,
when the fs kernel doesn't have an exec.
