This question seems to be largely a duplicate of:

https://meta.serverfault.com/questions/5449/will-should-serverfault-be-dropping-the-networking-support-in-the-upcoming-fut

The takeaway from that earlier discussion is that the way NE is currently defined, it overlaps 100% with SF - any question that's on-topic there is also on-topic here.  So it doesn't make sense to have an off-topic migration path from here to there.
