I don't see the point of this. LLMs will catch most of the problems
and for the hundredth time classic netlink is not the focus for YNL.
Anything genetlink can have YNL generate the code and uAPI so problems
do no exist.

Feel free to keep the code OOT and let's see if you can prove my
assertion wrong within a couple of release :)

If you have any ready fixes to the spec please post them.
I'm also sitting on a bunch of fixes based on LLM scans, I'm just
blocked on the "15 outstanding patches" limit :(
