Pedantic, but I object to the wording in the title :) ... SPDY was/is an
experimental branch of HTTP/2, and now that HTTP/2 is in the final stages
of becoming a standard, there is no longer the need for SPDY and hence the
announcement of a deprecation timeline -- it's not and never was SPDY vs.
HTTP/2. That aside...

From what I understand (at least from a few conversations at nginx.conf),
there is already some existing efforts around enabling http/2 support? I'd
love to see some official product plans and/or timelines as well.
