we've had discussions like this before. I do agree that having a more "original" Plan 9 option like 9legacy is a good idea. in terms of what that actually means doing, a lot of the obvious effort would be to go into turning stuff from 9front into patches for 9legacy. I started to do this to make a patch for dp9ik for 9legacy and I quickly realized how much effort that actually would take
