Hi again,
I just noticed that iw 5.19 is out and I'd like to package it. Looks
like a good occasion to move the repo under the kernel team.
I'm totally fine with a NACK, but it would be a pity to skip what I
believe is an improvement because my previous email drowned in automated
mail, which I have the impression is what happened.
Cc: Ben Hutchings, as he gave a +1 to the iproute2 proposal [1].
Cheers,
Paride
