WireGuard is in net-next

If I understand the kernel development process correctly, this means it's on track to land in 5.6 (since 5.4 is the current stable and the merge window for 5.5 is already closed). Correct?

This will mean a lot for the future of WireGuard and VPNs if it catches Ubuntu 20.04

Great news. They've been hard at work for a while and it's finally come to fruition. Congrats

Well, to be fair, it was already pretty straight-forward to run WireGuard in production (if your distribution of choice has a WireGuard DKMS package). What I'm more excited about is more people building products on top of WireGuard, thus making it more accessible for the non-sysadmins out there.
