[Nix-dev] Should we drop 9P?

[Volth]

They are not holes if you mean security, they are stability and data
integrity issues we regulary step into as server load and number of
files grow.

The fourth issue is https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/24/721, it has not
its own nixpkgs ticket, discussed in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/23957 's comments.
