I am not the expert on TLS renegotiation, I am just aware that certain TLS 
parameters can be changed on an existing connection if both parties agree. And 
I am aware that this has been used in attacks and the feature seems to be 
frowned upon nowadays.

I see mod_ssl code that checks for renegotiations based on directory 
configurations, so it is request based. And it will fail miserably in HTTP/2 
connections as there is no longer *the one current* request on a connection.

What would be the most common scenarios for TLS renegotiation be that we should 
users warn about when enabling HTTP/2? Is requiting a client cert a common use 
here?
