OK, understood.

That's quite a bit of work for us for the MPTCP kselftests to support
this v6.7 version (25 places to patch, split in 10+ commits for the
backports, etc.). We will then add a comment somewhere to say that this
version of 'ss' has an issue and is incompatible with our selftests.

Hopefully this version will not be used by the other CIs we don't control.

Cheers,
Matt
