Sorry to but in, but I don't see why this so called bikesheed keeps getting bigger and bigger. The outcome is simple. If your patches function properly, then there is no need to remove netns provided you don't mind maintaining it. If it doesn't have a maintainer, then just apply your fixes and shuv it in the Attic so it's less horid when someone wants to restart the effort of maintaining it. Not that I can do anything about it, but I can't see why this discussion is getting bigger and bigger for no reason. Cheers. PS.
