Maybe not, but I remember a discussion a while back on this list that had to do with features vs stability, about market shares and why other web servers are gaining. > HTTP/3 would be a lot of work, a lot of shoehorning into HTTPD, and > likely be de-stabilizing for quite some time.

I also do understand that this might be a highly complex topic, especially since it will touch many components. I'm very grateful that Stefan took the initiative to get h2 into httpd. > HTTPD is great and familiar to lots of people, but HTTPD'S age brings > a lot of baggage.

I've been using Apache httpd since the early days and I won't be switching to another web server. But the "baggage" can't be the reason for stagnation. A web server's main functionality is to serve web pages. If the protocol evolves so must the server, otherwise the server will be obsolete at one point in the future. Cheers, K.
