If the client doesn't, the server might choose to be more aggressive about making its own inferences.  If the server doesn't, the client might as well save some bytes and might choose to delay low-priority requests on the assumption the server will be assuming the requests are in priority order.

I agree, this is fast and clean.

I just have a practical question : does this mean I'll waste my time
if I implement H2 priorities in haproxy ? I mean, if there's a general
consensus that this is counter-productive or if browsers are thinking
about abandoning priorities, I probably have better to work on. If it's
only for certain corner cases that priorities should be abandoned and
that they are still valuable, I can continue to work on this. I'm
interested on any advice on this!
