But there's plenty of cases where you don't need even that. See AOE, or nonet from very early Plan 9. I'd like that back.

Those are all valid reasons to have a tcp/ip stack. But what I (and I believe Erik) say is that there's cases where that doesn't matter, and it would be nice to have an alternative in those cases. I no that IL makes a noticeable (if tiny) difference on my local network; I bet nonet would be a marginally greater difference.
