I did mention it many times during the development of h2 and quic
that the original capture trace was inside a university cache hierarchy's
proxy traffic that likely wasn't representative of the open Internet.

The response was always that updating to a fresh capture would be too
big of a change prior to publication.  Likewise, getting a better trace
from multiple real sources (to avoid server-specific specialization)
wasn't something that anyone wanted to organize due to the privacy
issues.

What we should have done is reach out to a third party
(like UCSD's group that does Internet measurements) to organize it
as a research project, and just adopt their results at the end.
