I think the reality here is, this is what happens when you let companies fight over a standard in private.

What I saw on the HTTP/2 mailing lists was "We have a new standard." "It demands SSL, but we don't want that." Then, SPDY is everywhere, let's use that.

Shortly after it was "Omg, we can't call it spdy, because then Microsoft's interests will be left behind and Google will have won. Let's abandon the mandatory SSL requirement and rename SPDY to HTTP2..."

I feel like we've all lost here.

We implemented SPDY at Twitter - the savings were fantastic and the browser performance, amazing. Google and FB did the same. It's nearly like, 800M users said it was great, can we move on now?
