I think these "a lot" and "many years" are just overestimation based
on the marketing buzz around spdy, http2 and other so-called
innovations:

http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/ce-spdy/all/all
http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/ce-http2/all/all

As you see, spdy penetration is just 6% and it starts to decline.
http/2 is still ~2% but growing super quickly.

And we do provide 1.8 branch which supports spdy.

As for your request: can you explain how spdy deprecation affects you
personally (not Cloudflare or other).
