? Design is a process by which requirements are combined with
resources, knowledge, and experience to produce a sufficiently
good solution. The hardest part is getting a handle on the
*real* requirements, as experienced systems analysts can attest.
For example, one Plan 9 requirement seems to be that the people
working on its development have fun doing that, so any design
that doesn't take that into account would be a poor one.
