      Ken,
        Ellie,

        
        Thanks for the information.

        
        Ellie, I see that #2100 has everything to be merged, hasn't it?
        What's blocking it?

        
        Regards,

        Anatoli

              will only support HTTP/1.

            
             Always wanted to ask what the nghttp2 dependency was
              for. From what you say I infer that it's only needed for
              HTTP/2. But what DAV service could benefit from this? Are
              there DAV clients that know HTTP/2?

            
      No idea, but it's there if you want it!  Speculating wildly,
        it might be useful for JMAP?
      

             And speaking about the SNMP agent, are there any plans
              to complete the transfer of its code from the master
              process to an independent daemon, issue #1765? (It needs to be moved
              out to implement efficient chroot) 

            
      It's more likely to disappear entirely (see https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/2100)
        in favour of Prometheus (which is more powerful, more flexible,
        more human-readable, and is actually used by Fastmail -- and
        therefore more tested).  But it won't disappear from a stable
        branch, so it won't be a surprise when it does.

      
      Cheers,
