So you want something more specific than a general reference to lots of
discussion on the ietf-http-wg mailing list?  Hmm, how about this thread (one
of several that have covered the issue):

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2014AprJun/0602.html

James Snell of IBM summed it up pretty well:

  First and foremost, it needs to be recognized that HTTP/2 has been designed
  from the start to primarily meet the needs of a very specific grouping of
  high volume web properties and browser implementations. There is very little
  evidence that ubiquitous use of the protocol is even a secondary
  consideration -- in fact, the "they can just keep using HTTP/1.1" mantra has
  been repeated quite often throughout many of the discussions here on this,
  usually as a way of brushing aside many of the concerns that have been
  raised. So be it. It's clear at this point that HTTP/2 is on a specific
  fixed path forward and that, for the kinds of use cases required by IoT,
  alternatives will need to be pursued.
