Nobody is suggesting getting rid of PRIORITY.

I was merely suggesting that PRIORITY might be better served as a separate extension RFC, much like HPACK.

1) It makes the core h2 spec smaller and easier to grok (e.g. it wasn't obvious to me for a while that PRIORITY is completely optional)

2) *More importantly*, as PHK said (below) we can improve and version PRIORITY asynchronously with respect to the core h2 spec.
