I never said you rebase anything.  I wonder where you get that from.

I'm saying, you just defer your pull request until Linus takes my
networking tree in.

No changes or rebasing of your tree is necessary whatsoever.  You just
ask him to pull your tree as-is.

Again, this is what other smaller subsystem trees do when they have a
situation like this.
