With my initial concern gone, I now have more practical question.

The modifications are quite extensive as noted in the beginning. I
count 15 patches in include/ and 29 in /net . For each kernel update,
the patch set must be updated/tested. Also there may be updates to the
patches themselves within a given kernel release. How can this be best
handled? Could dealing with the patches cause a delay in the cplus
kernel release?

Having a separate kernel addressing the mptcp stuff might work around
that potential issue.

I personally think that creating a separate kernel (kernel-cplus-mptcp? :-) ) is the best thing to do.

I think a separate kernel might be best too.

It can be kernel-mptcp and live in centos-plus if we choose to do
kernel-plus, kernel-<some_name>, etc. or we can do it another way, but
regardless in a separate kernel is likely best.
That also means that someone (or someones) need to volunteer to maintain
it as well.
Would it be a distro kernel with only the mptcp added or would it be a "plus" kernel with mptcp?

Thanks,
