Re: Connection IDs

[Martin Thomson <[e-mail]>]

Just to add to this and bring this list up to speed...

Ian opened https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issue/1166 which
suggests moving the Version field into a fixed location.

To that end: https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/pull/1167

Does anyone have anything more to add (perhaps someone who does not
work for Mozilla or Google) here?  The feedback I've received is
overwhelmingly positive thus far and my hope is to merge this ahead of
the editors starting an extended editing session next week.
