Really?  So think about it.  I want an entire directory structure,
just for me.  Not shared with other people.  How, exactly, do I do
that?

Once I have it, will I be able to create a directory that appears only
in my structure, and not in anyone else's?  Will I be able to delete a
file such that it goes away for me and not for other people?  As I
understand it, those are not possible in Plan 9, certainly not in any
convenient way, and certainly not by using tools like normal file
creation and normal file deletion.

This leaves aside the scale issue.  Will Plan 9 be happy if each user
on a system with 10,000 files has a 10,000 big mount table?
