RE: [PATCHv2 net-next 3/5] sctp: add SCTP_EXPOSE_POTENTIALLY_FAILED_STATE sockopt

This is a sockopt defined in section 7.3 of rfc7829: "Exposing
the Potentially Failed Path State", by which users can change
pf_expose per sock and asoc.

If I read these patches correctly the default for this sockopt in 'enabled'.
Doesn't this mean that old application binaries will receive notifications
that they aren't expecting?

I'd have thought that applications would be required to enable it.
