anselm once got persuaded to make wmii a 9p server and scripts would
control much functionality via some 9p client script. then he dumped
all such ideas and concentrated on "single-host" software as he
describes above.
reasons are probably that networking and thus client/server stuff is
difficult o

There are very limited use cases for the client/server model. Most of
them involve multi-system communication. The client/server approach
makes only limited sense in a single host world.
hiro,
did you drink your coffee before it was cool?
