>>Is it possible to read more about what Brazil does (and doesn't) somewhere?

if you look back through the list (somewhere) there are a few references to brazil,
notably to its revised graphics model and internal i/o subsystems.
given that a few years have elapsed, that there are changes and improvements to the
system (compared to Plan9) is unsurprising, but the overall approach and content
is similar enough that you shouldn't feel terribly hard done by, not having it.
there is plenty to be learnt from Plan9, and much that can still be done with it.

the biggest practical nuisance is that the PC (and its devices) has changed somewhat
since the Plan9 release, making it that much harder to bootstrap into existence.
