We're not saying you have to, it is already good enough that one can still implement HTTP/2. The enhancements proposed earlier were mainly to contribute back to the existing _implementation_ of the API, not to modify the API itself. > The proposed text is meant to make it clear that it was not the goal of this > module to provide a HTTP server fit for production deployment to be > implemented. It's one thing to say the current implementation of the API should only be used for testing. That's an understandable position as we can see the team is not keen on enhancement. But it's another thing entirely to say the API _and its service provider interface_ must be implemented for non-testing use cases. All I'm saying is we can make things clearer. We should be unambiguous in saying that the default implementation provided by the module is only intended for testing without discouraging the efforts of existing implementations meant for other uses. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/23004#issuecomment-2583095084
