I would be more inclined to say that stat is a superset of math than
the opposite though I would actually say neither.  Math is a tool
used by statisticians just as math is a tool used by astronomers.
Nobody would suggest that astronomy be a subset of math, I think.

Nevertheless, I have calmed down considerably and no longer care
much what the name is.  If others still care, I am in favor of
net.stat but at this time I don't feel it is worth the trouble
to change it.  I apologize for publicly maligning mp and bae.

Let's start the serious submissions, like that of Gary Perlman.
Actually, a discussion about whether statistics is or is not a subset
of math could be quite enjoyable.
