Jim, Charles, and others made an excellent port for amd64, which is cleaner that any other system I've seen. We used that as a starting point for nix. I think is childish to fork a system because the code sent to maintainers is either not desired or good enough or whatever. most of us have our own set of changes and exchange them at will. The good think in plan 9 has always been the quality of the system and the quality of its code, and I'd like it to stay that way and thank Geoff for keeping it that way. Just look at files that change in sources. it's impressive the amount of work still ongoing in plan 9. As said before in this list, if you want Linux, you know where to find it. I'm sure the standard there is not that high.
