This is not intended to offend Bell Labs or anyone at Bell Labs, it
just exposes the difference in focus that may cost us valuable support
from Google: the MIPS port of Plan 9.  Personally, I found it quite
exciting, but from a Go perspective it was insignificant.

Bell Labs are perfectly entitled to choose their projects and I would
never had raised this matter had I not been challenged to.  What I'm
trying to convey is a need for Bell Labs to make it easier for the Go
contributors to make progress with the few issues that have arisen
(5c's vlong switch labels, libbio, floating point instructions in
syscalls, complex expressions in 8c, etc.), but I don't really know
how they should do that.  Abandoning MIPS development obviously isn't
one such option.  maybe taking Go more seriously or at least
communicating regularly with the Go developers community might well
be.

Again, no offence intended, I'm just pacing out the territory.
