I'm drawterm'ed in from a client site. If I'm someplace where the
link is very slow, I boot up Plan9 under VMWare and import parts of
the namespace I need from the cpu.
As a standalone computing service, they're still relevant. Also it's
important to consider them service nodes, serving parts of the namespace
(fossil) or performing specific function (auth, mail).

: In that sense, the 'cpu server' is outdated nomenclature.
Yep. In Plan B we don't have CPU servers, actually. (We made an
experiment but its result was not clear). We have "permanent terminals", though.
If you own a machine, you can arrange for remote omeros to browse/exec on it.
I wonder, how many 9fans are *actually* using CPU servers?
[do not count a CPU server that runs your fossil as such, it's a file server,
isn't it?]
