So HTTP/2 would be for all use cases *except* micros?  Seems to go against
the intent.  Further, HTTP/2 has many benefits over HTTP/1.1 for embedded
systems.

That said, the "expense" of encryption is not always the underlying issue,
even with embedded systems.  For that discussion, I'll refer to all of the
other threads on this topic.

As someone who has implemented HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 for embedded systems, I
have to disagree.
