Not wishing to troll, but genuine interest - why do you prefer a port
of plan9's rc to a staticially linked version of Byrons rc rewrite?

For me there is nothing to chose unless you have a lot of scripts from
a plan9 system that tickle the changes Byron made. I find the differences
between Plan9 and Linux sed more of a pain.
