Why would anyone upvote this Quixotic nonsense? Plan 9 may the be operating system analog of pumpkin pie, but what could it possibly matter given that it has zero ecosystem and zero uptake? If you'd replace Plan 9 with Linux, this exact sentence could have been uttered in an equivalent forum anytime between 15 and 25 years ago. If people won't use and promote great but unpopular stuff, things are never going to change, and we'll be stuck with the same crap we have today forever.
