Only current (based of Linus tree) > and next (for net-next kernel). to expand: iproute2 follows the netdev model which means -main is for bug fixes, and -next is for new features. If a new kernel feature needs support in iproute2, then the patch to iproute2 needs to be sent during the same development window as the kernel support. New feature support will not be added to -main branch regardless of when the kernel side landed.
