In my review of QUIC Invariants, I think that I found a promise we might not want to keep: > QUIC versions are identified with a 32-bit integer, encoded in network byte order. Implicit in this is that a packet containing version X is necessarily QUIC version X. That's already not-true in some proposals. I think that this would be better defined as a field for use by endpoints: > The Version field contains a 32-bit integer, encoded in network byte order. > This value can be used by endpoints to identify a QUIC Version. This is an almost-cosmetic change, but it is a substantive change. The intent is to wind back this promise and allow for the sorts of mappings contemplated by the version aliasing proposal. https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/3808 is the issue, with some more details. https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/3785 contains the proposed change.
