Go seems a little outside the scope of a Plan 9 release and I think it would take a greater interest by the community to bring it in. I seem to recall that Quanstro's 9atom does not implement syscall 53 (nanotime), as a probable example of where the thinking diverges. It is certainly the case that Go has distinctive philosophy that differs in place from Plan 9 and I see no reason not to treat the two as distinct. Expecting the Plan 9 community to focus on Go would be unreasonable, in my opinion. It does not mean that the shift can't take place, but it should not be forced. Skip, where in the FS hierarchy do you install the go distribution? Also, which additional go packages are in general use on Plan 9 platforms and where do they normally get installed? Lucio.
