I believe the problem is that "9fans" (according to its name) is for
fans of Plan 9.
Whereas comp.os.FOO is for both fans of FOO, people who are skeptical
about FOO, people who want to understand both strengths *and*
weaknesses of FOO, and so forth.
Sometimes there are attempts to say "such and such is inappropriate on
comp.os.plan9, because it is for 9fans only", or other things similar
to that.
