Is there interest in establishing a dedicated Plan 9 Core Team to spearhead its
technical development? When we look at other communities like FreeBSD, they
have both a foundation and a core team, with the latter overseeing the
technical aspects of the project. If this idea resonates with you,

I have just one question. Is this concern of 9front code making its way
into the codebase of Plan 9 based on reality? Is there evident cause for
concern?
The 9front developers develop 9front. Plan 9 from Bell Labs is not being

I look forward to not seeing 9front as a part of a formal release, then.

What I want I think I’ve made clear. I do not want to see a formal release of
Plan 9 that includes anything from the 9front project. I do not want 9front
merged with what I tongue-in-cheek term “mainline” (9legacy / 9pio updated
patch sets). I’d

Sometimes gatekeeping is good. It's OK if folks don't agree.
I think it's healthy to create a strict regimen around "mainline". I am not
against 9front doing whatever it wants, I just would prefer if the two did
not merge. It's important to keep the 9 ecosystem stable, imo.
