I'm just saddened that people are shoe-horning isolated ideas from
Plan 9 into old, outdated systems, rather than comprehending the
full elegance of Plan 9 as a complete system, and lending their
support to it.
It's very much like the New Testament parable about
patching old wineskins...
Really, Linux needs to be rewritten from the ground up,
along with all them GNU tools. Or we could all just use
Plan 9...
