Your quite right, I wouldn't switch to 9front for that reason, but is nice that 9front does have more secure protocols in place. I stuck with bell labs because the RPI iso was right there I wanted to see the OS from the beginning. Its also why I have the bootable 9legacy USB for my old desktop, but that's sitting around until I can figure out the OS, so then I can get it running how I want on there, and link up the systems so that the desktop acts as a shared fs.
