I would find that a useful thing, but admit that I have only theoretical
knowledge about SCTP (and have no time to work on it).
The code parts in question inside OpenVPN (socket.c) are somewhat
complicated due to lots of existing options and lots of existing
operating systems being supported, so this will not be a trivial
task.
What I'd definitely recommend to do is base your work on JJO's IPv6
transport patches, because he already changed large parts of socket.c
- so if you base your work on "plain 2.2", there will be endless conflicts.
(Personally, I hope that such an overhaul of socket.c would bring in
functionality to listen on multiple sockets in parallel, like "listen on
udp/1194 for normal connections, plus tcp/443 for those behind too-strict
firewalls").
