It will no doubt be useful to us folks doing work for the gov't. They DOE has lots of apps written for GCC or Fortran -- while there may be other methods of accommodating these applications, having them "just work" with GCC (particularly if the GCC fortran could be part of the port) would help us a lot. It could also serve as a baseline for performance/efficiency comparisons with other methodologies such as linuxemu, etc.
But none of this code will "just work" on Plan 9 (especially the Fortran code), so what's the point?
