Really, I' not ;)

My guess is that net/handshake is going to be dependent more on core
networking changes than anything else. If later developments will
require/use/leverage a new core net helper, it would be quite straight-
forward going trough the netdev trees. Otherwise such changes will
require extra coordination and/or an additional RTT WRT kernel
releases.

All the above very much IMHO ;)
