I didn't know that all the files under include/linux are exported to userspace. AFAIK, i don't think there are any SCTP apps that use this file. But if you say that we shouldn't remove any of the APIs in linux/sctp.h, i am OK with keeping the existing ones and adding new ones with the changed name. Now that 2.6.20-rc1 is out, should i wait until 2.6.21 tree to open for re-submission or is there a window still open for 2.6.20?
