As I am sure you would agree, a lot of real, interesting, important, and valuable work gets done on POSIX systems. I'm sure we'd all agree that Plan-9 adds important ideas to those already present in POSIX. While some of the implementation specifics of Plan-9 may be "hard to bold" onto a POSIX system, I believe most of the ideas, in the abstract, can be added to a POSIX system, in, perhaps, a different form.
