Since (and including) 2020, 9front has averaged 700 commits a year to
the project, a very large portion of that being bug fixes and upkeep.
We've also been presenting some of the more interesting new work at
recent IWP9 conferences, now that they've become a yearly occurrence
again thanks to the Plan 9 Foundation. From my perspective things
have been quite lively lately.
We did take a look at your rc parser changes (closer to when they were
first pushed to plan9port) but had decided not to adopt them at the
time.
Thank you,

One of the tidyings I did during covid lockdown
was to rewrite
rc's parser not to use yacc anymore [1], specifically to make
it easy to allow "foo x=y". As I wrote in the commit message,
dd fans rejoice! (Also fans of -foo=bar flag syntax.)
Very cool. Have other Plan 9 distros picked this up? Just wondering.
I looked at https://9p.io/plan9/ <https://9p.io/plan9/> and also 9front and neither
has the change.
I don't think either is particularly maintained at this point.
