  No one is speaking about the present. Plan 9 and Inferno are done, historical OSes to learn from and apply in new OS designs.

      Nothing has been added besides keeping them running on new hardware, which boils down to being done.

        That's not true, a new Filesystem (hjfs) was made for 9front and lots of other stuff: http://fqa.9front.org/fqa1.html#1.3.1 http://fqa.9front.org/fqa1.html#1.3.1
