Historically, PHK was a very vocal criticizer of SPDY and HTTP/2: http://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/http20.html

Of course he relented and implemented SPDY and HTTP/2 anyway.

But all the same I can't help but feel that his original criticsm still stands, and what we need is a rethink of e.g. cookies.

The original brief for H2 was to have the same semantics etc, as HTTP/1.x

From my reading PHK didn't think it went far enough, and wanted to change more.

I think he's got good points to make on session ids, cookies etc. and I suspect we'll se some of the ideas feed into future versions too.

I don't think we will, because most in the driving seat make their money identifying visitors. Cynical but true.
