his installation, which provided plan9 software failed after using up
more than 1 ssd.

What whole thing?  That might be before i was on the list.

_This_ whole thing, neoventi, started because I was fixing bugs in
venti and decided the code wasn't worth saving, it's too badly
designed and implemented.

I'd need more context to know how serious of a problem that is.  It's
entirely plausible that someone got multiple bad SSDs, that doesn't
actually prove venti caused the failure.  I'd be very curious just how
much data was stored on them to cause that.

I've had multiple SSDs fail running other file systems, within a year
or two, including ext4.  Some SSDs just aren't good, in the same way
that I've had hard drives fail within two weeks.  That doesn't mean
all hard drives are bad, let alone that ext4 ruins hard drives!  What
it really means is that QC isn't perfect and/or they're hoping people
just buy another one and don't refund it.
