Of course, but that's exactly my point. It was introduced not in 2.4.0, but in 2.4.17. Five "H2…" config directives are available in 2.4.18+ only, one in 2.4.19+, and three in 2.4.24+. I'm not saying no directives should ever be added in point releases or anything, but the constant backporting of *features* to 2.4 has contributed to the relatively high number of regressions, and to a lack of progress on 2.6/3.0, because, well, if anything can be put into 2.4.next, why bother?
