I tend to agree. But. There's also a matter of gatekeepers. plan9
was lucky enough to have people in this role with an excellent
taste in how code should look like. IMHO, that's the real reason
behind why source reads like a good literature. It's not a question
of functionality or community-based development it's really just
a question of euthanizing code that shouldn't have seen the
light of day in the first place, no matter how much useful
features it contains.
I can only hope that with jmk being the only one left we can still
have this.
Thanks,
Roman.
