Hi Robie I only noticed yesterday that HTTP/2 support graduated from experimental mode to "fully production ready" in Apache2 v2.4.26 <http://apache.mesi.com.ar/httpd/CHANGES_2.4>, released June 13th.
Is there a likely timeline for building HTTP/2 support into the version of Apache2 provided with Xenial (currently at 2.4.18)? Let me know if there's anything I could do to help.
