Re:Nginx HTTP/2 server push support

I upgraded my blog's server a few months ago and got HTTP/2 automatically. I didn't change any architecture (still one CSS and one JS files, no pushing), and it definitely feels faster, because (I think) of the multiplexing and the TCP and TLS overheads on the extra connections are gone.
I'm skeptical of not bundling resources "because HTTP/2". I think it's still a good idea to keep good HTTP/1 performance for the 10%-20% of traffic that doesn't support HTTP/2. Even when everyone supports HTTP/2, if you're loading a bunch of other data from the same domain (like images), I'm doubtful that the improvement from unbundling resources would be noticeable.
