Thanks a lot for your input. Agree, thus from this point it'd make more sense to keep it in LTP. Given only 2 people responded and none of you actually run these tests. That suggests little interest in SCTP testing. @SCTP kernel maintainers: We LTP maintainers don't care which repo will be chosen it's up to you to decide.
