As I noted in the other thread and on GitHub, segments are redundant with midstream headers. Both require data not to be coalesced across a boundary, and weakly suggest that intermediaries should flush. Neither work over HTTP/1.1.

I have no complaint about removal, but “deprecation in favor” might be better terminology.
