Also, know how you do init in Plan 9? You add commands to an init file, and they run when the machine boots. If a service goes down for some reason, you GO RESTART IT YOURSELF.
Are you saying that lack of process monitoring is a feature? The "add commands to init" thingie has simplicity going for it, and reminds me of the little I've seen of Arch's old init scripts, but I'm not interested in figuring out the dependency order of my services by experimentation, or giving up parallel initialization.
I'm glad in your haste to snark on a typo you managed to leap over all the bits that don't correspond with your worldview.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Providing the system owner the ability to make that decision is a feature.
I've seen many "Windows import" sysadmins who think it's perfectly natural to reboot a server because something is not working. It's not. Automatic restart of crashed processes should be the exception (as in "we need to keep the reactor core cool") rather than the norm.
