Are we doing all of this to defeat the conveniences we get from the
statefulness of 9p? Would a stateless 9p-like protocol be better (no
walks)? Is a stateless 9p really HTTP? :-)
If those are all yeses, are we re-inventing the wheel? Or does 9p or some
derivative really have to get used everywhere? :-)
I mean if we figure this out, great, but if not, I think we're still ok,
just can't use 9p right? :-)
