The Linux kernel is maintained by hundreds of contributers and Linus is quite cautious about regressions.

Linux has a mature ecosystem and several flavors and components to choose from.

Plan9, while leagues ahead the *nix design architecturally, has a much smaller ecosystem, no real choice in components, and virtually no enterprise support.

I just wish similar caution was demonstrated from userspace component maintainers.

And certain high ranking userspace maintainers are chomping at the bit to pair the number of flavors and components right down, to ease their own workload.
