Description

https://github.com/oxidecomputer/propolis/pull/1031 has been merged. and it contains only stream socket support (makes sense since seqpacket isn't currently needed). would you folks be interested in seeing a PR for seqpacket support ? i don't know if its a priority for propolis or no.. but most VMMs don't have a very high priority for it. which makes it a good candidate for things that can offloaded to external contributors. if this is true, i'd love to work on a PR
