Why do any back-porting?  Why not just release Brazil?

Again, this is repeating what I was told, but Brazil is not even stable
yet. There are people at BTL who use Plan 9 for day to day work, so stuff
is being back ported since it's useful.  Brazil is nowhere ready for
release, it's neither stable nor even documented...

Even the Bell Labs guys don't know. Last I heard (a week or two ago), work
was continuing, with lots of stuff being back-ported from Brazil to
Plan 9, but still no definite date. Sigh.
