Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Generalizing QUIC to allow underlying tranports other than UDP (#4061)

[Martin Thomson <[e-mail]>]

As @DavidSchinazi is likely one of the first people to want an abstraction, his opposition is worth paying attention to.

For me, this discussion highlights how abstractions aren't free.  They aren't free in terms of the time that I need to spend in order to review changes, then maintain them.  I appreciate that someone is willing to do the work to create the abstraction, but remember that you are asking editors to maintain that abstraction.  Other such "gifts" have turned out to be extremely expensive in the past as well.

People have talked about comprehension.  I think that the pull request demonstrates a small regression in comprehension.  That might be improved, but, to my previous point, that's not work that I was planning on doing.

Either way, I've taken a look at the work so far and the number of subtle errors makes me disinclined to accept the gift.
