Luckily GRPC can downgrade to HTTP/1.1, so if you want some of linkerd's features it isn't a total non-starter; but this is obviously less-than-desirable. We're working with the finagle team to complete finagle's netty4 integration, which will enable us to transparently introduce netty's http/2 codec into linkerd. This is a high-priority feature.

that's a fair answer.

It seems like there's overlap beyond lack of HTTP/2 support, where some of Finagle's features are handled by GRPC in different ways. I'd quite like to use the GRPC way, since Google is maintaining the bindings to many languages, and doing a decent job.
