I don’t think the basic philosophy of Plan 9 and 9front really differ that much or in any deeply meaningful ways. I find 9front more usable for my needs. Sshnet works well, as does sshfs, and the smaller changes to the behaviors of Sam, rio RC shell windows etc (ctrl-b especially) seem to make a rather big difference to usability. Should there be an “upstream” relationship here? I honestly can’t tell.

The confluence of the forks isn’t clear, and flow depends on where one stands it seems.

The only negative outcome of forking is if we get to the point we can no longer share I think. Some investment in compatibility seems wise.
