Please drop this.  I've forgotten to deal with the links from

Since I've already botched it can I ask for guidance here.  The problem
is updating the links means making changes that will cause merge
conflicts if they go through net-dev tree (since most references are in
Documentation/*.rst).  But we can't go through docs tree either since
that could lead to merge conflicts later as well.

My idea was to leave netdev-FAQ.txt in place but with all content
removed except

  'This file has moved to netdev-FAQ.rst. This file will be removed once
  netdev RST conversion is complete'

And then do the same for each file conversion under
Documentation/networking/.  Once all the files are converted a single
patch set updating all references into Documentation/networking/*.rst
could be posted to the docs tree.

One other idea was to leave a symlink netdev-FAQ.txt -> netdev-FAQ.rst
but I don't know how that would play with the build system (docs or
otherwise).


thanks,
Tobin.
