This is indeed a really cool aspect of Plan9. I definitely think that a system that could get rid of stuff like a PATH variable and replace it with union mounts and private namespaces would be very nice. I have done some union mounting using FUSE but one probably would have to have a better performing system to really base the whole logic of the system on its union mount capabilities.
