Article mentions that Plan9 missed `cgroups`, QoS.

Linux moves towards massive process sharing, and thus various of sharing controls are key to the future that is missing from 90s operating systems.

Just enable sound, run your browser and music app, and count number of processes living with `ps ef|wc -l`. I see 282 kernel threads, and 536 total processes. You will see that we live in the future, because of extensive modularization of system services, and cannot get back without sacrificing reliability and comfort.
