Yes, undoubtedly.

But if HTTP/2.0 limits User-Agent to 32 bytes, that means that
no HTTP/2.0 browser will send more than 32 bytes, and no website
will support HTTP/2.0 until they can do their job with just 32 bytes
of User-Agent.

HTTP/2.0 transition is a unique chance for getting this monster
under control, we should not waste it.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
