Conceded. I never meant to suggest that one shouldn't, merely that it
could be asking for a leap of faith. I have something waiting
specifically for this opportunity.
So let me ask a few questions.
Is this the right place to discuss the actual procedure to include
apatch in one's private Bell Labs' distribution?
Is it preferable to use apatch within 9atom, or is it reasonably
portable to the "legacy" (I presume that is what David intends
with that moniker) distribution?
Is there a willing participant who is prepared to offer backing
storage for the target distribution(s) even when he or she
disagrees with the outcome? (And be vociferous both about
disagreeing and accepting the outcome?) David, you've been good
that way, are there others? I'd like to think that we can
leverage Plan 9's distributable properties to have more than one?
I'd like to offer this myself, but I live at the bottom of an
Internet gravity well, anyone with sufficient patience is welcome
to approach me.
Is it worth it to get going immediately, or should further
discussion take place? Whose opinions ought we to be canvassing,
are there parties that ought to be reached outside of 9fans? Any
deities we need to burn offerings to?
Do we need additional discussion forums (fora, for the pedants)
for the more thin-skinned contributors (or for any other need to
keep community members from falling out with each other)?
Are there any other questions I'm missing from my somewhat limited
and remote perspective?

Touché. Although it's kind of obvious I wouldn't be welcome to say
"subjectively superior" instead, right?
