I also tend to use wireless-testing as the main kernel on my laptop, and
find it handy at times to have both recent drivers and mac80211 changes
in the same tree without resorting to backports or merging the trees
myself.  Not much problem doing those, but if I'm going to do it anyway...
might as well share.

So, I'd be willing to help keep it running for a time after said sunset
date.

mac80211 and wireless-drivers go into net, wireless-testing doesn't
go upstream; it's exactly just for testing.  That said, it's an easy
base to work against since all the bits are reasonably up-to-date.
