Thanks Martin for your great effort! I always appreciate your awesome involvement in BPF timestamping!
I am currently a "R:" in "BPF [GENERAL]", this part stays unchanged. I am folding most of the parts into "BPF [GENERAL]". For "BPF [BTF]", it is long overdue as I am no longer involved. It is folded into the "BPF [GENERAL]". The "BPF [STORAGE & CGROUPS]" will also be covered by "BPF [GENERAL]". For struct_ops, its usage is no longer limited to networking, so this naturally should move back to "BPF [GENERAL]".
Maybe it's not an appropriate timing to ask this, but considering the further development I really want to know if you'll continue with the latest series around struct_ops? Or you will delegate someone to take over your work? Thanks, Jason

For the reuseport, it will continue to be maintained together by "BPF [GENERAL]" and the "NETWORKING [SOCKETS]". For other "BPF [NETWORKING]...", I am moving myself to "R:". Thanks!
