The introduction of a new package golang-github-ishidawataru-sctp in SRU doesn't fall under any of the regular SRU exceptions, it is not a hardware-enablement package and it is not covered by name by any of the other SRU exceptions. It is a requirement for newer docker.io, but we would normally expect new docker dependencies to be vendored, not shipped as new external packages.

The justification given for this as a separate source package is that in addition to being a requirement for docker.io, which has an SRU exception, there are other packages such as podman which need it, so it should be packaged externally rather than embedded in docker.io. Since the introduction of a new package introduces no practical risk of regression, I am accepting this rationale.
