A nice thought, but you are suggesting making a pro-vegetarian website and peppering the pages with pictures of juicy steaks. ;)
With reference to both this and the Binary Format thread I would like to say I don't think many people really grasp how different Plan 9's approach is. Unix was made with the idea of getting away from the overburdened, ridiculously bloated operating systems of the past. (Lisp machines could take 15 minutes to start up.) Today the computing world knows nothing else than trying to add back that bloat unix got away from, except this time it's usually without the careful design of the past.
