You tell them that it's for all 9p speaking systems.   That includes linux
now with v9fs, hopefully with Alan Cox [FreeBSD Alan Cox], anything that can
use Tim Newsham's Python 9p implementation, etc. :)

It's not as obscure as it once was.  I've seen talk of adding it to OpenBSD
as well as a translation layer for DragonFlyBSD's native VFS messaging [well
I proposed that one but god knows when I'll have time for that]

Anyone interested in adding 9p to NetBSD? :)

We'll just spread out like a virus and take over.  ;-)
