## Form letter - net-next-closed
The net-next tree is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring
and optimizations due to the merge window and the winter break. We are
currently accepting bug fixes only.
Please repost when net-next reopens after Jan 2nd.
RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
