yes. coraid is sponsoring an upstreamed port at the tip of the 2 series. it should work with amd64, 386 and arm, properly integrate with the system, including being able to read ctl files and support hg at the tip. python should pass most of its self tests. jeff sickel is doing the work. (many thanks.) and might be able to fill in more details. we're currently working with 2.74. this port is currently based on ape, but one big difference is we're using plan 9 ssl/tls and plan 9 ssh and not openssl and open ssh. this has required an upgrade to /sys/lib/ape/bsd, which you can currently view in the atom sources. this brings in support for the modern name lookup functions, as well as ip6 support. - erik
