Not helpful lol
If 9p.io not be a generous public service by an authority such as R. Cox, E. 
Quanstrom, or C. Forsyth who can be relied on to maintain it in perpetuity, 
should we maybe mirror it as a WWW site on github.io for safekeeping?

[9fans] Who is behind 9p.io

[freennix]

Hi,
I noticed that someone changed the official WWW site for Plan 9 from Bell Labs 
in the Wikipedia article on Plan 9 to https://9p.io/plan9 from the original 
https://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/ that I had once set it to (way back when 
when that site was still online). My apologies if this information be available 
elsewhere (did a quick Duck Duck Go search and couldn’t find any info), but who 
is behind the https://9p.io/plan9/ WWW site?  The site says “Copyright © 2014 
Alcatel-Lucent,” but AFAIK that entity doesn’t exist anymore.  Should we be 
archiving or mirroring 9p.io in case that site goes off-line one day just as 
the original plan9.bell-labs.com site did?
Thanks, and stay safe and healthy

This (and the fact that the speed of Go on Plan9/amd64 seems to be finally
be useable enough to do development again as of 1.14..) finally gave me the
kick I needed to fix some of the hacks that were causing performance
problems on clone. The self-clone time went from ~160s to ~13s on my
machine (compared to ~8s with "real" git) If there's other parts that you
were referring to as being slow and memory intensive let me know (or if you
still find it's memory intensive, I didn't benchmark that part..)
