Grandparent says HTTP2 is a monstrosity, because it "includes a whole slew of features that we really don't need."

You say you agree, because "the protocol does not specify how you determine what server to connect to."

In other words, HTTP2 sucks because it simultaneously includes too many features, and not enough features.

At least everyone can agree that they don't like it for some reason, even if the reasons themselves contradict each other.

How does too many features and missing features contradict each other?

It's entirely possible for something to both have too many, unneeded features, while at the same time missing other important features.

No, they are agreeing that it's a heap of extraneous features.
