I can say this particular 9 fan isn't dead...just aging.  My main file server
here at home runs Plan9, but with my own file system, rather than Ken's.
My auth server is a Raspberry Pi B running Richard's port.  I run 9vx as
a terminal taking its root from my file server daily, and run it with a local
root at the office.  There's another older Pi B running stand-alone at the
office.  I tought a course last fall using Plan9 on Raspberry Pis, and I still
use Inferno internals to teach my undergrad OS class.  Plus one of my
students did an independent study last year starting a port to the Banana Pi.
So at least in my little world, Plan9 is very much alive and being used.

BLS

P.S.  On the other hand, the last six months my little world has included
a lot of activity related to the ENIAC.  So YMMV.
