Message-ID: <201004191313.ab49214@salmon.maths.tcd.ie> (raw)
Well that was a very long discussion, and a fairly pointless one
for the following reasons:
- It doesn't matter whether Plan X is a good idea or not, unless
someone is actually going to try to implement it. That is not
at all clear at this point.
- Most of the discussion seems not to have been about the topic,
but about each individual's personal pet peeves.
- This is all being discussed in the wrong place. If there is
a problem which Plan X could solve then it is that almost no
one uses Plan 9. To caricature, it would provide private
namespaces to people who don't like pastel colours and
bunnies. But those people aren't on this list, so this is
the wrong place to guage their level of interest.
