First off, as stated in the UnixWorld article (10/90,
p.61), Plan 9 is _not_ UNIX; it also appears it's going to
be the next big thing in hackyland, so it will no doubt get
lots of net bandwidth.  So I'd look into getting a group
for it and avoiding clogging this one (which is already
schizo from the comp.unix.* identity crisis).

Meanwhile, let's do this over in comp.misc and/or comp.os.misc.

Anyone want to drive the discussion/vote process?
