don't laugh; my boss still uses qedx on a regular basis (mostly on
unix machines, these days, although if anyone out there still has a
running Multics system and would like some very knowledgable Multician
help, let me know...)

I, too, am curious about the disposition of Brazil.  I actually got
some funding approved for Plan 9 here at MIT (I'm part of a student
group that, thankfully, can occasionally make end-runs around the type
of thing the person from UCSD (I think) was talking about.  I ended up
waiting to see if anything came of the Brazil talk and, basically,
nothing has moved so far; all those who I think might be interested
are off playing with inferno, I guess. :-)

Is there an `official' answer?  Is there an unofficial answer from
someone who has put more effort than I am into trying to get an
official answer?
