Indeed, the coupling is moderately loose (I found one constant shared in
the code I compiled for 9front -  Fossil from somewhere, probably p9p, but
maybe not - the 56000-byte Venti block size, I believe). But Fossil without
Venti is a much less valuable component, as I understand it. And Fossil
without improvements will eventually go extinct, possibly taking Venti to
its grave as well.

I don't think it's just sentimentalism on my part that keeps me interested,
it is the implicit, as yet unrealised promise. At least from my point of
view.

Lucio.
