Well he was open to the ideas, but probably not completely sold (he
talked a lot about using Coda as a base file system for instance). It
definitely seems like a good vision in which to demonstrate some of
Plan 9/Inferno's unique attributes so we should probably try to "link
up" with his efforts as much as possible and make a case for Plan 9
technology and techniques over alternatives.
