https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/pull/144 This was a technical change brought up and discussed as part of the "layering taskforce" breakout but was never discussed in the larger interim discussions. Essentially, this PR would add an "ASSOCIATED_ONLY" flag to PRIORITY and RST_STREAM frames that would allow terminating and reprioritizing promised streams as a group. Sending PRIORITY(ASSOCIATED_ONLY) would ONLY set the priority for associated streams, not the referenced stream. Sending RST_STREAM(ASSOCIATED_ONLY) would terminate ONLY the associated streams, not the referenced stream. Without this, we would have to send PRIORITY and RST_STREAM for each individual associated stream, which is obviously quite inefficient.
