I guess NAS (network access storage) would really benefit from QUIC; one could treat each file transfer as a separate session, so that a lost packet will not cause all the sessions to stall. Did any of the NAS protocols adopt QUIC already? Are they working on it?

There's been some interest among the Samba hackers, including some discussion with Microsoft. They seem quite excited about SMB-on-QUIC as an Internet-capable network filesystem protocol.

Indeed. I believe the latest Windows Insiders builds have SMB over QUIC support (via msquic). I think QUIC brings a lot potential to finally run network filesystem protocols on the Internet.
