No. This sounds like: why do much of useless work? To not lose plan9 benefits, we better will grow (or porting) many of useful and non-existent now software. Linux already has many good things, like a namespaces, sysfs and normal procfs (comparing to bsd). May be in the feature it will eliminate ioctl() and other ugly syscalls and introduce /dev/ttyctl + /dev/tty instead of this. But when will this happen? We have it all now in plan9.
