	Agreed. We have a codebase spanning 20 years, 2.3M LoC (without
comments). Some of it even pre-dates mod_perl (written originally for CGI.pm),
but mostly it uses code based on RegistryCooker as its underlying
infrastructure.

	I just don't see a clean path towards HTTP/3 QUIC multi-session
connections in mod_perl. Sure, a reverse proxy will do, but it might be
better to do it natively. Do you know about any development of Apache+mod_perl
related to HTTP/2 or HTTP/3?
