    <jkoenig> btw, it should be possible to implement a network "filesystem" by
      just forwarding RPCs over the network, right?
    <jkoenig> (of course auth would be an additional concern)
    <jkoenig> that would open all kinds of possibilities, possibly.
    <LarstiQ> jkoenig: plan9?
    <jkoenig> I don't know much about plan9 yet. I seem to remember some mach
      extension for network transparency being mentionned somewhere..
