i think you misread my intentions: ultimately i don't myself care where
Inferno is mentioned, especially where the two overlap because they are
clearly related, and Inferno is indeed a Plan 9 application,
but someone did ask, and i therefore pointed out that
there were several places already dedicated to it (well, if you
discount `MAKE MONEY FAST' and `Napster Lives!'  messages),
where one could ask Inferno-specific questions.

Inferno ships on the Plan 9 CD because we (not Lucent) thought it might
encourage interest, and it provided a moderately capable browser (including
Javascript, and with finite source).

our Plan 9 CD includes other software (mainly software package ports
contributed by Russ `The Wonderful' Cox) that we also thought would
be useful and in which we have no proprietary interest at all.
