Hahaha, I have some sympathy with your feeling.
However, Russ said you can run one machine model Plan 9
with your favorite user name, and if neccessary you can add
your favorite name to sys group, wright?

In this case, you should remind you can create any file from
fossilcons window, if you need it to be owned by 'sys'.

This is the one point which I told lastly, the three machine 
Plan 9 model is clearer.   However, I know Russ's idea is
interesting.

I started to respond to this but halfway through
realized where this meme was coming from, at least
in my mind.

I was feeling nervous about running in group sys
because, well, I could accidentally destroy the
whole file system, right?  Oh.... the worst I
could do would be to destroy *today's* *version*
of the file system, and yesterday's is still there,
and the day before's, and ...
