It is unlikely that existing features in Plan 9 scale applications (or
system services) to 256,000 cores.  The project isn't just to use Plan
9, but to explore distributed system concepts which can be used to
reach such scale.  This will involve new system abstractions, new
programing abstractions, new run times, and potentially new
languages....  What ends up other the other end of the pipe may end up
looking very different from Plan 9.
