--This is just how I see this, you can choose to ignore the rest of the message. i have always considered 9atom and a few other independent plan9 stuff as something similar to the openbsd release strategy. Theres a stable release and a current. 9atom is more like openbsd-current it's bleeding edge, but it should be _more_ stable and has _more_ hardware support. The official iso is more like openbsd-stable unless something is broken you will only see bug fixes, until bell-labs considers the new stuff as stable.
