Good god, no. HTTP/2 is quite complex, and it is likely that at least some parts will turn out to be non-optimal. Please give the HTTPBIS WG at least a year to shake out the protocol after wide deployment and constant use. Rushing the WG just so we can feel good about slapping a near-meaningless feel-good label on the spec is not a good process.

Counter-proposal: we let the people closest to the protocol, the WG that created it, decide when to ask for STD status.
