Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-httpbis-no-vary-search-05.txt

We had some discussion back in Jan/Feb in the GitHub repo (
https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/3287) about simplifying
the SF field format for this, and even changing the field name itself. Is
that definitely not going to happen?

I swear (as I swore then) that bikeshedding is not my intent, but as Martin
T responded then, "naming is hard, but I've seen late name changes work
very nicely.", and Julian R seemed to agree.
