    I would rather have Andre work with me to get any other
    rinkles out of SCTP that he deems are there... and get the
    KAME-SCTP stack ported directly in to FreeBSD.. this IMO ... would
    make more sense... Get something that is pretty well baked (IMO at
    least) and work to get it "productionized" (even though I don't
    feel it needs much work in this vein)...
