Re: Request for help on follow up items from the last call

As follow up, the second issue (https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/768) was just closed. The suggestion seems to be that questions regarding “is this a good idea” or “how do we know if this is a good idea” are not appropriate for GH issues…

This seems bananas to me.  If others would like to push back, please follow up on the comment.

In the meantime, I will send a similar request out to ietf-http-wg@w3.org
