Yeah, it would be absolutely terrible if we had more tests in the kernel selftests area for networking. More seriously, we need more, not less, tests in the kernel networking selftests directory. It doesn't belong in iproute2 because we want a place to put things that automatically get tested when someone makes kernel changes and can be integrated into the kernel development workflow. I want as many tests as possible under there, so I'm really surprised that you're asking "why" tests are being added there.
