[9fans] Ritchie and Plan 9

Are there any notes/facts about why Dennis Ritchie was not more involved
with Plan 9? According to his page http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/ he
only contributed a few bits and pieces (whatever that means). I don't
know when his health problems started but it seems that he could join
the early versions of the system.

i'm not sure if rsc's "plan 9 kernel history" includes the contributors'
name in the file diffs, but it is worth a look.
