If we are to remove the version number field in favor of trial decryption, we need to figure out how a server would figure out a packet that failed to decrypt was a connection establishment attempt, so that  it can send a Version Negotiation packet. Otherwise, a client would no longer be possible to fallback to a different version.

One way of resolving the problem is to use the QUIC bit as a SYN bit. If the server fails to trial-decrypt the packet in any of the versions it supports, the server would send a Version Negotiation packet.

Having a SYN bit also helps the server, because trial decryption would only be required for packets that have the flag set.
