This sounds reasonable. v9fs has been in the Linux kernel since 2.6.14 and that 
should let GNU/Linux application programs use 9P without modification. So why 
would we want to modify apps like Emacs to implement 9P separately? What am I 
missing here?

An extremely late response, I'm sorry, but: I think you are asking the
wrong question here.  Instead of asking "would people be interested in the
protocol", ask "would people be interested in *what can be done because
Emacs supports* the protocol".

Beyond that, it might be a fun hack to add, but brings no real value; the
benefits come from the capabilities it brings.

(I also agree with 2017 RMS on the correct location for it.)

This is the first I hear of 9P, so I'm sorry if I've misunderstood its
utility, but FWIW the first thing that comes to mind w.r.t. Emacs
support is making Tramp aware of 9mount and 9umount.
