i have always considered 9atom and a few other independent plan9 stuff
as something similar to the openbsd release strategy. Theres a stable
release and a current. 9atom is more like openbsd-current it's
bleeding edge, but it should be _more_ stable and has _more_ hardware
support. The official iso is more like openbsd-stable unless something
is broken you will only see bug fixes, until bell-labs considers the
new stuff as stable.
