Ack, we started pondering cases which are obviously not-net-worthy but still WIP and also hard to say if all of the fixes you'll write would fall under it. So just prepare for net with Fixes tags and we'll route the patches accordingly. (some kind of "can't be triggered by an unprivileged user" would seem like an obvious delineation but "can't be" implies we explore all the possible options of triggering, maybe Mythos can think of something we can't, and (b) "unprivileged" is not as strong as we'd like if we have to assume that people are crazy enough to allow user netns :/)
