There are several "versions" of Plan 9 currently. The Bell one, which is rather inactive, and forked one, 9front, which seems to be under active development[0]. > I still think it is not needed. I wasn't sure whether we should do an LTS upload for qemu or not. That's why I asked here before claiming qemu in dla-needed. I'll follow the team's decision. (By the way, *if we do an LTS upload*, shouldn't we include this patch[1][2], too ?)
