It seems like everyone wants their swing at this.

To be perfectly frank, I wasn't planning on addressing any of these.  It's a long and slippery slope.

But I will start a list and we can discuss where to draw the line.

I would be opposed to publishing a new version with a replacement priorities scheme before that scheme were proven.  It might be OK to publish a version with text with the priority scheme removed, with a note about it not being interoperable in practice or some such.

Here's some historical info that seems relevant.  The following text appears in the draft, commented out:

While this might be true, I don't want a reprise.

Cory agrees with me, so I'm probably right....  As for GREASE, I'm reluctant to include new design work, but it might be small enough to meet the cut.

I definitely had that in mind.  My plan is to do that once the -core drafts leave the working group (so that there is no further risk of reshuffling.

I tend to think that 8441 wouldn't make the cut; it's discrete in the same way that the ORIGIN or ALTSVC frames are.

8740 might make the cut.

Just to add to the list:

* midders (or multiple trailers or whatever they are) are something I'm still uncertain about
* a re-design that included better 0-RTT design is probably off the table
* removing h2c is very tempting, with similar rationale to PRIORITY
