you misunderstand the strength of Plan 9 and use a false premise in regards
to the cost.  the point of Plan 9 is to have a heterogeneous collection of
machines, each dedicated to a finite set of services (resources) that one
can import, export and access in a uniform way.  you seem to imply that
requiring more than one machine is elitist.  one can build a RPi Plan 9 cpu
for less than $50; hardware that can run an fs (any fs) is cheap-to-free.
