That remains a valid, useful, and extremely valuable design goal.
It's imperative that the current official Plan 9 sources and distro
remain undisturbed.

I realize I'm not omniscient - heck I'm not even very talented! - but
I'm not seeing how LLVM/Clang, and a little more POSIX (where
necessary to help port and 9'ify _select_ libraries) - induces a significant
risk of folks aiming to UNIX'ify (or LINUX'ify or GNU'ify) "Plan X".
The GNU/*NIX'ification of a Plan 9 based operating system just
seems to be a completely counter-productive, non-viable endeavor.
I couldn't imagine such an act of sheer pointlessness to gain much
traction.
Though I can imagine reasonable temporary stop gaps being used when
necessary, to be deprecated once the kludges in question are replaced
with their appropriately 9'ish solutions.
Cheers
