no, it's even worse with stateful systems.
Why? Please elaborate.
I can see how a trivial change to 9P's open can lead to a desired
behavior of append-on-the-server. But the open is only there because
9P is stateful.
If you don't have a permanent channel to your data it becomes
very difficult to ask for particular processing of read/writes.
All in all, I don't think I agree with your comment.
Thanks,
