That's very true (hence the source comment) but the main factor is pain. It requires updating everyone's 9load and kernel simultaneously (at least the way you've done it), and that's just not easy for a lot of people. We have home users at Bell Labs who use Plan 9 as a means to do other work and aren't really interested in maintaining their home systems. I'll leave the double parsing in until there's a different compelling reason to force them to update their 9loads. Russ
