Don't try to apply logic to this, it doesn't work. Anyone that dears

you are not hired by some big organization to work on Plan 9 then your
opinion is worth nothing.

Except that Plan 9 clearly wants no users and no developers, so
reliability is to be avoided, or it might attract some interest from
people that might help, and that would be bad.
