Good question.
The 9pi image started out as pure Bell Labs 4th edition in
a ready-to-use form for the Raspberry Pi. Over the years the
kernel and usb drivers have evolved to keep up with subsequent
Pi hardware development. Outside the kernel I've applied some
patches, from /n/sources/patch and a few from 9legacy and 9front,
which I considered essential for usability. (The measure of
usability includes being able to run a plan9-arm Go builder.)
It's still closer to 4th edition than to any of the other versions.
