alt Hacker NewsBy what definition is HTTP/2 considered obsolete? Are you suggesting it's been supplanted by H3?
(FWIW I agree w/ your objection to the "httpx2" name.)

Yep. All HTTP/2 features are subsumed by HTTP/3 and all HTTP/2 deployments should be focusing their effort on moving to HTTP/3.
HTTP/2 is full of growing pains and fiddly kernel config for it to perform better than even HTTP/1.1.
Moving these dependencies into userland was the path that HTTP/3 took and it has proven itself through CDN and browser adoption for years now.
I’d go as far as to say that we need to reevaluate the event loops in nginx and elsewhere to assume UDP and HTTP/3 framing instead of TCP. There are gains to be had.
