While I could be one of the users benefiting from merging these changes 
into future 15.x releases, I would prefer not to.
I'm strongly against merging these changes for several reasons:
1. The network stack requires careful testing, both in terms of 
performance and security. This require time.
2. Changes, especially new features in the IP stack, can affect node 
behavior and potentially break POLA.
3. Even in the CURRENT, fixing network stack mistakes can be difficult, 
and regressions can arise. It's significantly harder to resolve these 
problems in stable or release branches.

That's why we use STABLE/RELEASE branches on our servers.
