What makes you think that? The latest available Plan 9 ISO image is from September 01, 2008. The sources were last updated on April 12, 2008. Which _could_ be outdated, but then if Anant Narayanan cares enough to mirror the ISO and the sources at his own expense-

What next ISO release? Either... one created from a later compile downloadable from Bell Labs or any of the mirrors--for example, the one at kix.in which is continually updated. I recently had the opportunity to download it. The install/live image I first tried on VPC anteceded this one. Unfo
