IPX was moved to staging at the end of last year. Can decnet follow
suit? git log seems to indicate no active development in a very long time.

Last time I tried to do that someone immediately said on the list
"Don't, we're using that!"

Ugh, I was afraid of that response. I guess I will have to work around
it for the neighbor changes.

Not sure about that. What I can see is a claim that it has no bugs:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/837484/
The V1 received only support for removal:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/837261/
But no one claimed they were using decnet.

Ok, if people want to try and deprecate it again we can try.

I have no problem with dropping decnet support from iproute first.
Presumably anyone still using it is going to be on old distro tools anyway.
