With regard to staging, the code there is usually horrible and I'm
not sure anyone really looks there, that would mitigate the review
problem to the time when you try to get it out from there, so I'm
not sure it brings anything. ;)

+1 on what Eric said, would have also been nice if you had clearly
described in your mail (w/o buzz words) what it is and what it does.

Are you trying to introduce a new network stack as an alternative
to the current one, e.g. something like FreeBSD's netgraph?
