Compare outputs of:
git grep _gen_ net/
git grep _genl_ net/
My point is to see consistent naming scheme. I know you don't care about
that much, but I believe it helps readability and code understanding.
What is the downside? I'm not really sure why you are against it.

The point is simple. Ops is a struct of callback by name X. If someone
implements this ops struct, it is nice to assign the callbacks functions
of name y_X so it is obvious from the first sight, what the function
is related to.
I'm not sure what's wrong about having this sort of consistency. I
believe that you as a maintainer should rather enforce it than to be
against it. Am I missing something?
