While all browsers support http 1.0 websites almost three decades later.

Spdy really shows how fast people are willing to put immature technology in production as long as Google claims it better. Amazing.

What's even wise is the attitude towards abandoning published protocols and contracts. This is not how a lasting and stable internet was built.

This clearly shows why spdy can't be a candidate for http 2.0

Dude, you are comparing two entirely different things and no, it doesn't clearly show anything.

Spdy is not an established standard, it's an experimental protocol developed by Google to improve the transmission of data on top of HTTP. So yes, it is normal to have Google and Firefox drop the older versions to push forward on the iterations, it's an experiment to see how they can improve Spdy and in the end, how HTTP 2.0 can benefit from those results.

It is more irresponsible to keep and use an older experimental protocol that nobody will use.

HTTP 1.0 is an established standard agreed by everybody and that's why it hasn't changed in 30 years, something Spdy is not.

HTTP 2.0 working group is already establishing majority of Spdy's experiment results as a working draft for HTTP 2.0.
