I said this after reading this conversation [0] on comp.os.plan9 about rc. Though it does appear that I misread that as well. However, my point was that it seems like the shift away from Plan 9 or 9front or whatever took place in the late 2000s when they moved to Ubuntu or OpenBSD due to work concerns because it was easier to support the masses. (I cannot find the conversation on comp.os.plan9 to support that though.)
