I think this sounds reasonable, and I applaud the effort to take some time off during the summer :) One question that comes to mind is how would this work for patchwork? Would we keep using the wireless patchwork instance for the patches going to -net in that period, or will there be some other process for this? I realise the setup we have for ath9k is a bit special in this regard with the ack-on-list+delegation, so I'm obviously mostly interested in what to do about that... :) -Toke
