I'm not van gogh, and I want to use the systems now, not after I'm dead.
And you do, to the best of your abilities and to the extent that you
can. But have you ever stopped to analyse the mutually exclusive
aspects of GNU and Plan 9 that you require? How do you propose to
resolve them?
++L
Plan 9 is a model, a research system to provide answers to Unix
deficiencies.
It is better to take that model and use it than pretend it is a piece of
art
to hanging on a smelly GNU wall...
Why has it been so dificult to port GNULand to Plan 9 but not the other way
arround?
To apply the model to the unix-like world you use (/procfs, etc.).
Make use of that model in *new* technology. (CLONE_NEWNS is out there...)
Of course, this is my opinion. Nevertheless it does not excuse people who
are stubborn to accept the fact that Plan 9 is a research model (which
happens to allow you to take it as a solid OS).
To bring the Unix model back into Plan 9 is paradoxical.
