Does SCTP provide some way to describe a preferred order over the
addresses, or is the address set inherently unordered? Does it
provide a way to delete an address from an active connection?
If there is an ordering, pushing deprecateds to the bottom of the
barrel (and deleting them when they expire) sounds most robust and in
keeping with the rest of the discussion on this thread.
