That sabotage.tech link is worthwile, thanks.

What I find especially interesting is that files in unix are categorized by type or usage,
not by association. One could also have a system where everything
except the most basic system components is in something called /pkg in
a directory corresponding to the package name.

plan9 throws everything out and starts anew, with /sys/src (or was it /sys/lib/src?), /usr for users,
/n for virtual network files and /env for environment variable files.

And we will, of course, never learn. Just install your stuff to / and hope it works (it never does).

Ok, objectroot is really cool. They even reinvented mounting file systems from
other machines, only 10 years left until somebody discovers something
like plan9 namespaces! Hurray!

Edit: seriously, it looks like that guy knows plan9. He reinvents venti with
/hosts/self_time, for snapshots, and he sorta reinvents virtual network file systems.

Weird.
