I have just one question. Is this concern of 9front code making its way
into the codebase of Plan 9 based on reality? Is there evident cause for
concern?

The 9front developers develop 9front. Plan 9 from Bell Labs is not being
developed, so there’s no “upstream” there is no “mainline” so there’s not
really an ongoing relationship between the two. And 9legacy is bugfixes and
maintenance to the original Plan 9 codebase, no? I don’t think anyone has
any intentions of encroaching on 9legacy, I mean the name is literally
legacy.

I don’t see any reason to believe Bell Labs’ Plan 9 will be “merged”
whatsoever with 9front, or even 9legacy for that matter.
