[Netty 5] Discussion - Remove SCTP Support

See original GitHub issue

Currently, Netty supports SCTP (transport-sctp). However, SCTP is kind of dead. The documentation of the transport-sctp module is also not up to the mark. We should consider removing it from Netty 5 onwards.

So this is a discussion thread to find whether we should support it or not in Netty 5.

Yeah I would agree with both of you, we should not migrate deprecated protocols to netty 5. If and when we see interest we can help folks migrate by creating separate repos, reviewing PRs etc

I wonder if we could split it out into its own repo, and let it be maintained by whatever parties might be interested in it, if any. There are also a number of codecs that look questionable in the main repo, like redis, memcache, xml.
