There was a need to provide a real =C2=BBPlan 9 project=C2=AB somewher= e. 9front does provide this in the best way. Of course it is fueled by the cultur=E2= =80=90 al values the cynism of the Plan 9 niche. On the other side the (now two!) Nixes, 9atom, Plan 9 from (corporate) Bell Labs are either too academic or dead. They are only fueled by the business or academic positions of persons in the specific subgroups. I can=E2=80=99t imagine 9fronters to work under the iron fist of the = quality rulers in Nix. But I can=E2=80=99t imagine the Nixers to give up contr= ol over their code review[0].
