Well, this tripped me up: the Python priority implementation gets this wrong.

Let me ask a follow-on question that I have not been able to find an answer for in RFC 7540. If we continue the example from the erratum (streams A, B, C, D, A and B have stream 0 as parent, C and D depend on A), it’s now clear to me that if stream A is blocked then stream B gets all the resources. What happens if both stream A and B are blocked? Should my server endeavour to serve dependent streams in that case? I *think* the answer is yes because of the logic around having grouping nodes formed from idle streams, but I’m not 100% sure and would like clarification.
