For the moment we have no plans to provide a subscription
option for Plan 9 though this will be reviewed. Subscriptions
for Inferno were appropriate since we have the exclusive
rights to develop and distribute outside of Lucent and can
control the frequency of updates.  For Plan 9 the update frequency
will be outside of our control and hence the costs as well.

The cost of the next release of Plan 9, whenever that is, will
largely be determined by whether the manuals need to be
reprinted or whether supplmentary documentation will suffice.
