## Form letter - net-next-closed

(original text from Jakub)

The merge window for v6.9 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after March 25th.

RFC patches sent for review only are welcome at any time.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
