i'd rather see ape stick around. imperfect, sure, but certainly
still useful. there's a significant body of code that i either
run on plan 9 (ghostscript, troff) or would like to see running
on plan 9. given a finite set of plan 9 development resources
(read: people), i'd rather see our efforts spent on other things
than porting (and keeping current) the stuff we already have
under ape.

that aside, for the few programs i've written for unix, i've
found ape to be a wonderful testbed for conformance and
likely portability.

granted, today i'd probably use rsc's 9libs instead...
