Posting as an individual.

Thanks to the time that people took to prepare, present and discuss, I
gained a better understanding of this area.

One main takeaway for me is that thinking of QUIC v1 as singlepath puts it
in an unfair box. Others, such as Jana, articulated this point better than
I.

QUIC is path independent, path aware and provides mechanisms, written in
the core document, for endpoints to interact  and interoperate about
path-related things. Through the course of specification development things
might have gone different, and we might be having a conversion now about
whether the group should adopt a document that describes for instance just
connection migration.

But migration is in the core and, based on the Slack discussion following
the interim, there appear to be several parties that have expressed an
interest in testing deployments of Connection migration. This can be seen
as some form of success.

The use cases indicate that things like active-active paths or bandwidth
aggregation are desirable. But I was unable to discern objectively how more
of an optimal experience they would provide over a well tuned QUIC v1
endpoint that use connection migration.

I encourage people to think about the charter goals for the QUIC protocol,
what success looks like, and whether they think connection migration
delivers a sufficiently good part of the multipath feature set that was
vaguely described when we started off.

Cheers
Lucas
