Hi Lars, So I think your comment about discussion of abandoning Multi-path may have come as a surprise to some people. Where has that discussion occurred?
It wasn't on this mailing list what I can find. It doesn't like like an exstensive discussion on the QUICDEV slack either, I did find 10 messages in total. And that is not official WG resource either. I did find one github issue that have some discussion. But larger issues like this really should be brought to the WG mailing list. So I think before you do send a LS reply lets conclude on the now started discussion here on the mailing list.
