Hi Sasha,

This commit requires:

commit 14fb07130c7ddd257e30079b87499b3f89097b09 Author: Florian Westphal fw@strlen.de Date: Tue Aug 20 11:56:13 2024 +0200

netfilter: nf_tables: allow loads only when register is initialized

so either drop it or pull-in this dependency for 6.11

It should be dropped, its crazy to pull the dependency into stable.

Is there a way to indicate 'stable: never' in changelogs?

There is a way to indicate we shouldn't pick something up with our regular flows. See https://docs.kernel.org/process/stable-kernel-rules.html#option-1.
