Oh, one other annoyance in QUIC. A network protocol, created in the 21st C, and the framing does /not/ have a length field. (And QUIC has variable length encoding!). So if you add a frame type, any tooling like wireshark will fail to parse a packet once that new frame type is there. Any other frames past that that it could recognise - tough.

Really annoying.
