We just got a mouthful from sl and you about the lack of explanation
for the state  of the various plan 9 "distributions". It all smacks of
expecting Da Vinci to update the Mona Lisa because somebody would
prefer a high-rise landscape in the background and because someone
actually did photoshop the Mona Lisa in that guise, but was not
accepted as the most significant contributor to the painting.

I really don't feel like being kind to that sentiment, but I will
refrain to lower myself to the level of disrespect that sl
demonstrated. You used to have that position, Kurt with Hiro a close
second (no offence intended, Kurt or Hiro, we are what we are and I
find much of it stimulating), but between sl and Aram, they have left
the two of you standing!

Lucio.
