[ClusterLabs] [ClusterLabs Developers] kronosnet v1.32 released

[Fabio M. Di Nitto]

Hi,

we discussed it between team members on IRC.

The implementation in knet has some bugs that noone had the time to 
address and we have been hitting a lot of instabilities while running CI 
tests across different distros/kernel combinations, due to different 
implementations of SCTP at kernel level itself, that makes it rather 
challenging to have a functional userland.

Based on the bugs reports that we receive, noone is using SCTP for what 
we know (I think one was reported over the last 4 or 5 years? and I know 
the code has bugs...)

1.x will continue to ship the code, it´s one --enable-* away.

Since knet allows runtime reconfiguration of links, switching to UDP 
will be a 0 downtime change.

Cheers
Fabio
