The same thing could be said for NFSv4, but it's moving ahead on the server.
The client vnode layer doesn't encourage taking advantage of the optimization
opportunities provided by COMPOUND, from what I understand. But
Kerberos (via GSSAPI) and UTF user/group identifiers are core features.
Of course implementations can't be nearly as simple as 9P in plan9.
