The latter point is worth being addressed: currently it is all but
straightforward to set up a proper 9p filesystem (with authentication),
mainly due to the lack of a server. As long as there is no server readily
available 9p will have trouble gaining any ground on Linux beyond Plan 9
users running also Linux. I therefore very much look forward to your
planned efforts for next year to work on a server.
