Well that was a very long discussion, and a fairly pointless one for the following reasons: - It doesn't matter whether Plan X is a good idea or not, unless someone is actually going to try to implement it. That is not at all clear at this point. - Most of the discussion seems not to have been about the topic, but about each individual's personal pet peeves. - This is all being discussed in the wrong place. If there is a problem which Plan X could solve then it is that almost no one uses Plan 9. To caricature, it would provide private namespaces to people who don't like pastel colours and bunnies. But those people aren't on this list, so this is the wrong place to guage their level of interest. -- John Stalker School of Mathematics Trinity College Dublin tel +353 1 896 1983 fax +353 1 896 2282
