MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for net-tools-mptcp [2]:
Orphaned package, last updated in 2016.
It was a modded net-tools, carrying patches for the experimental
multipath-TCP fearture developed for Linux kernel <5.6 out-of-tree.
Since Linux 5.6 and up, multipath-TCP feature development has been
upstreamed to the Linux kernel source tree, and can be enabled via a
kernel build config switch.
The source of this net-tools fork has not seen new tagged releases
since 2019. [a]
As this package is an orphan, and the AUR package that used this
optionally - linux-mptcp - is also an orphan as well as deprecated, I
recommend deleting this one (I've also submitted a deletion request
for the latter package).
