 For an Apache project like Solr (which uses HttpClient and is my primary
 reason for being here), I see two problems with that idea:
 
 One problem is the eating your own dog food argument -- if software
 from an Apache project fits all of the requirements and has no
 significant disadvantages compared to a competitor, we should choose to
 use the software from Apache.  Both projects are likely to benefit.

 The other problem is that switching to a completely different http
 client would likely involve significant development time, both for the
 switch itself and for fixing the inevitable bugs that are a direct result.
 
 Seeing that competing projects are already focusing effort on HTTP/2 is
 even more reason to accelerate HttpClient towards HTTP/2.
 
 Even Oracle has fairly concrete plans for a new client in Java itself:

 Thanks,

Shawn,

I can work on HC in my spare time only. Even if I quit my day job and
divorce my wife I am not sure HTTP/2.0 in HC by the end of February is
realistic. The best case scenario would be having BETA quality support
for HTTP/2.0 by the end of year.

I would never make any actual demands of your time, I'm just conveying
my opinion that I think it's really important.  Thank you for everything
you have done and anything you may do in the future.  If there is any
way my limited http skillset and nonexistent understanding of the
codebase can be helpful, I am willing.

Other people are likely to be more insistent and demanding once the spec
is published. :)
