The nice thing about having all the source in git is that you can
create your own local branch and then cherry pick the changes you
want to adopt.  While these days I mostly run 9front, there are
parts of it that I disagree with, or where I want or need to do
things differently.  Git branches makes that a breeze.

So if you want back /lib/unicode, or anything else, create a branch,
revert the change, rebuild, and you're done.

Plan9 was never meant to be "one size fits all."  It's a base for
extension and customization.

And never forget namespaces.  Don't like something?  Map over it!
