...bores me to no end. There's never any use for that stuff. The opposite direction is more interesting, when the far end of the cpu connection uses /mnt/term, especially for the like of /mnt/term/mnt/plumb. I've never really understood why 'import /proc' is better than 'cpu acid'. Yeah, there's cases where the remote host won't have acid installed. More interesting, I think, would be stuff like getting /net in a VM from the host OS [surely 9vx or inferno's /net could be separated out], getting /dev/sd* from a 9P server that knows QCOW, etc. Not mattering whether it's in the kernel or userspace, without using $LD_*, is also far more interesting that not mattering whether it's local or remote.
