Percentages don't cut it for me. I have one x64 workstation, the rest
of my network is 32-bits. Including my Internet-facing server running
on VMware ESXi 3.5.
It is unreasonable to expect a community to contribute to the
development of Plan 9 if the goal posts move with the fashions, only
wealthy and/or fickle developers would be allowed to participate.
I am with Kurt (and the NetBSD developers) on this one: history is
precious and painfully acquired skills cannot be thrown away at the
whim of the fashionistas.
