The core stuff is not in the networking tree. This is nothing to do
with the networking tree in any way at all. There might be some
confusion because the initial discussions came from the siphash stuff,
which is in the networking tree, but Ted and I choose a different
route, going with chacha instead of siphash. So this is 0%
network-related.
