[ANN] poll on EoY break

[ANN] poll on EoY break

[Paolo Abeni]

Hi all,

Due to some unfortunate calendar, conference and personal schedule
circumstances we (the netdev maintainers) are strongly considering an
end-of-year break similar to 2024'one, but for a longer period:
effectively re-opening net-next after Jan 2.

Since this comes out-of-the blue and with a very strict timing, please
express your opinion using the poll below:

The poll will be open for the next 24H.

Thanks,

Paolo

[ANN] End of year break up to January 2

[Paolo Abeni]

Hi,

The EOY break poll concluded with a substantial agreement WRT the break;
the final figures are:

			Voters	Percentage
it's great		28	41%
it's fine		23	33%
I don't care		11	16%
mildly inconvenient	5	7%
unacceptable		2	3%

Given the above, and that the capacity in this period will be severely
negatively impacted - most of the maintainers will be traveling to LPC
the next week(s) - net-next will stay closed for new features until
January 2.

Fixes (for both trees) and RFCs will be processed as usual.

Thanks,

Paolo
