Hi Robin, With HTTP/2 support no longer experimental upstream, it does sound like we can get this enabled in Xenial now. I've added this task to our team's backlog. I don't expect this to get looked at before Artful's feature freeze. If it needs a higher priority, please consult David (added to Cc).
