"no" is a fine answer; my complaint is that nobody
has said it. Lufia's patch is over 2 years old.

Echoline's suggestion to port dp9ik has lead to
a valid question on what sort of review dp9ik has
had, and then silence.

What review would be needed? Who would do it?
Would 9legacy prefer to leave passwords brute
forcable by default? Any decision would be fine,
but from my reading this thread, I don't see one.

Instead, there was a long thread about some sort of
unified plan 9, without anyone mentioning what they
want to unify -- or even discussing differences.
No code was mentioned by name, and none appears to
be on the way.

(As far as I'm aware, I've already cherry picked most
relevant plan9port and 9legacy bugfixes into 9front.
Are there any that I missed?)
