## Form letter - net-next-closed We have already submitted our pull request with net-next material for v7.0, and therefore net-next is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only. Please repost when net-next reopens after Feb 23rd. RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
