> There has to be a better way.

There is a better way, but the decision makers are getting their
salaries by towing a line, not being innovative.  They have been
brain-washed into that frame of mind and they will not budge.  In the
meantime, the marketeers keep rasing the expectations and, as long as
Moore's Law is not shattered, the engineers keep delivering.

Only Moore can break that vicious circle and the likelyhood that it
will be in Plan 9's favour is minimal.  In fact, when the vicious
circle breaks, all bets are off.
