There's an intrinsic belief that there cannot be anything wrong with
Plan 9's swap. Having encountered the rather tightly embedded use of
swap/segmentation/etc. in the Plan 9 kernel, but without having
explored it to any extent, I'm beginning to see where the faith
principle comes from. Before anyone can be convinced to "fix" swap,
it is imperative to be able to supply a reproducible error case. The
virtual memory management is too persuasive to be broken in any
significant way.
