Not sure if you followed the discussions at the recent maintainer
summit but we are now allowed to be more opinionated about code
we merge. Merging code just to test that code seems like entertainment
for the authors, not useful development.

Not how subsystem boundaries work. You have to repost the two
networking patches to get them merged via net-next. Our CIs
will not trigger for partial posting to netdev.
