Yeap. Emperor's new clothes / Not Invented Here / reinventing the wheel / new is "better" than old - churn / kitchen-sink design-by-committee (cough OpenSSL cough). This happens more and more. Instead of fixing existing infrastructure that has a well-established/proven history, throwing everything away and starting over like what came before never existed. And let's over-engineer it and add every possible feature that we'll never use! It's so new and broken, isn't it awesome!?!

Isn't HTTP/2 just that, an attempt to fix existing infrastructure? I mean, HTTP/2 was a revision of HTTP/1.* that aimed to fix some problems such as the inability to address latency issues with basic techniques such as pipelining and multiplexing requests.
