We removed decnet support from iproute2 several years ago.
Seriously doubt anyone is still using decnet on Linux except in a computer history museum.
Like IPX, propose it gets moved to staging in next LTS?

I'd just delete it. But the cost to benefit of keeping it in stable
for a while is subjective (and the considerations theoretical given
how little experience we have deleting stuff) -- so whichever way you
prefer.
