It has been for some time, now.  Why do you think Plan 9 was invented?

Alas, the commercial world is just now discovering Unix, and the universities
(at least around here) just want to Get The Next Paper Written using frame

state of the art distributed system.

I don't believe in The Gospel According to Pike for everything, but a lot
of the time he's right...
