Who said Plan 9 is dying?

Actually, my suggestion to Ron Minnich was to reverse the tables on
Xen by putting Plan 9 in Dom 0 and offering Plan 9-like device drivers
via Xen to paravirtualized kernels so that all Open Source kernels
would have a sensible basis to work from.

Redirecting all device driver development towards the Plan 9 model
ought to make a huge, positive difference to the end result.
