Well, there's also people like me: I prefer and am able to use
Plan 9 the bulk of the time, but have a few particular tasks I
need Linux for. It'd be nice to be able to stick the Linux box
in a little jail.

I'm very glad 9vx exists: I now have Plan 9 on my OS X laptop.
I'd like Lvx to stick on my Plan 9 cpu servers. As it stands, I'll
be converting one of my older cpu servers into a linux box in a
few weeks. That makes me feel unclean.

I wrote 9vx for people like me, who would prefer to use
Plan 9 but, for various reasons, must use FreeBSD or
Linux or Mac OS X.

Linux vx for Plan 9 would help people who prefer to use
Linux but must use Plan 9.  I am sure such people exist,
but I feel no sympathy toward them.  ;-)
