I'm sure there are more interesting stuff to be said :) Roughly. Basically only the head of the tree (possibly a separate tree in and of itself ) would be the candidates for merging we would actively be working on. > We're looking for a place to host the netns git tree while we are working on > it, which means we will need first a federator for the pachset.

I expect I will be actively involved while we get the core infrastructure merged.
