Unconvinced. Life is full of trade-offs. Enhancing HTTP/2's privacy story
is not without costs. When balancing costs and benefits, it's reasonable to
consider that the costs may be mitigated by the continuing availability of
HTTP/1.1. It's not axiomatic that HTTP/2 has to be the single best choice
in all situations, in order to be a success.
