## Form letter - net-next-closed
The merge window for v6.5 has begun and therefore 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 July 10th.
RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
