I believe this should be orthogonal to HTTP/2.0. Is there a specific
thing that makes it impossible to use the existing authentication

Who knows? We don't have a protocol on the table yet. I
would imagine that some level of backwards compatibility
would be a requirement of course, or at least an issue to
be considered.
But the existing HTTP client authentication is also not
necessarily very useful, and there have been a number of
efforts to improve on that, none of which seem to have
gotten sufficient traction to get widely deployed/used.
Maybe HTTP/2.0 is a good time to try fix that.
Well, we have an existing authentication framework. It would be
interesting to find out what's missing from it.
session support with login and logout would be good. I know it's a can
of worms, with some serious security implications.
But this is why no websites use HTTP auth to speak of, which makes it
difficult to do integrated authentication.
