Hi Martin, overall the changes look fine - except the last one that I
disagree with:

you added <<Some clients keep track of paths that do not support QUIC by
recording failures to connect over those paths.  Such clients SHOULD count
version 2 and version 1 failures separately, as a path might block version
2 but allow version 1.>>

This assumes that ossification of the version number is already there and
that clients SHOULD accept it. I disagree that this is the best strategy. A
perfectly reasonable strategy is to consider networks that block QUICv2 as
networks that block QUIC so they realize that they are reducing
user-visible performance. Fighting ossification is the entire point of this
document, so it shouldn't say that ossification is OK.

I would remove this new text entirely.
