Anything you wish to submit will be considered.  If your protocol has
advantages over the existing TFTP and NFS implementations, please explain
what's better.  Of course, the protocol needs to be completely open and
documented on both client and server sides.  You must provide a CONFIG
option so that users opt in to using the protocol, and doesn't add to image
size if they don't.  You are correct that /net is the correct place.
