What does "simplified" mean in this context? I'm concerned that including that word will cause confusion. How about writing that RTRS implements a reliable transport layer and also multipathing functionality and that it is intended to be the base layer for a block storage initiator over RDMA?

Users who see these help texts will be left wondering what RTRS stands for. Please add some text that explains what the RTRS abbreviation stands for.
