What does "simplified" mean in this context? I'm concerned that
including that word will cause confusion. How about writing that RTRS
implements a reliable transport layer and also multipathing
functionality and that it is intended to be the base layer for a block
storage initiator over RDMA?

Users who see these help texts will be left wondering what RTRS stands
for. Please add some text that explains what the RTRS abbreviation
stands for.
Thanks,
