Thank you for the reminder - that was extremely helpful. I've been
struggling to figure out how to get nvme mptcp support upstream.

I left SUSE two years ago, and my current employer does not have a nvme
membership. I will work internally to push the company to apply for
one, and then try to join the nvme technical working group to move this
forward.

By the way, I will be presenting a topic on nvme mptcp [1] at next
month's LSF/MM/BPF 2026 conference. If anyone has any thoughts or
feedback on this topic, please feel free to share them with me.

Thank you very much.
