It's not about to add another "useless options", it's about changing
the major transport protocol. You should probably join the IETF
tcpm/tcpinc mailing list where TCP stealth is currently actively
discussed. TCP stealth has problems and you can probably help to
address them on a *technical level* if you like the mechanism.
