several of us are interested in blurring the boundaries enough that quasi-real quasi-applications can be done in Plan 9 in Limbo under hosted Inferno without the feel of a complete-box-in-a-box. in fact, it can and has been done but some of the bits aren't implemented so as to be distributed (which could be taken either way). i'm surprised, though, that you'd want to put your TLBs so much at risk. poor little things. show them evil limbo and i'm sure they'll collapse from heapatitis.
