I spent four years using Plan 9 on the Blue Gene supercomputer (I led the
team that did the port). I also spent years using it on embedded systems
with no windowing system at all.

What you're saying does not accord with anything I experienced with Plan 9
over a dozen year span. I also don't believe your claims are driven by
experience using Plan 9; am I missing something? What is the basis of your
statement?
