The main reason which the SCTP CMT ID is still very -00 is based on the limited
chances that it will progress to an RFC. This might change in the future, but
the last time I tried it was hard to find people willing to implement it.
It is currently implemented in FreeBSD and two simulation models (NS-2 and INET 
for OMNeT++),
and most of the people involved are coauthors. So it is hard to get consumers 
of a potential
RFC. Maybe someone implementing it in Linux and Solaris...
