Pasting a link from when we previously talked about this, for interest.

Appreciative of all the work regarding caddy, but the rate limiting seems to be chicken and egg, as few people seem to be willing to test it out in order for it to be accepted into core, and people are unwilling to test it out, because it's not in core.

It's also a blocker for me, so nginx wins by force of inertia.

Same for me. If it's not on core, means devs don't want to support it, which means it is buggy, therefore not ready for production.

No; if it's not in the core, that means we don't want to bloat the code base. Caddy is extensible for very good reasons!
