Sure, see updated scissor-patch below.

I also broke the line above on the comma, because the alternative would
be either
  is a network filesystem that supports the NCP protocol, used by
  Novell NetWare. It was removed from the kernel in 4.17.

  is a network filesystem that supports the NCP protocol, used by
  Novell NetWare.
  It was removed from the kernel in 4.17.
which is three lines anyway.
