## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.13 has begun and 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 Dec 2nd.

RFC patches sent for review only are welcome at any time.
