I was encountering some TCP head-of-line blocking issues while using 
rsync over SSH to transfer some large files, and thought, hmm, SCTP is 
supposed to be able to solve this issue even if you don't use multiple 
channels or roaming.

On my gentoo servers, there is a useflag for SCTP and it just builds 
openssh with this patch: 
https://dev.gentoo.org/~chutzpah/dist/openssh/openssh-8.6p1-sctp-1.2.patch.xz 
- it seems to work just fine when I use it.  What are the odds we could 
integrate this or something like this?

I think the last time it came up on this list was here:
