Sounds right.

I'm still getting up the courage to conflict.  I was wondering if I
could cherry pick a patch or two to avoid those.

Right now in the net tree there is one new sysctl and one bug fix to a
sysctl strategy routine I intend to delete.

The core or my changes are in.  This is just purging dead code.

It looks like those two changes may actually be single patches so I
could cherry pick them and in theory have no conflicts.

At the very least I'm going to wait for one more build of net-next with
everything but my network stack changes before I add those.

So far the conflicts are pretty minimal so I guess it doesn't matter
much.
