Don't rush to adopt QUIC – it's a slog to make it faster than TCP

That's not really a transport layer problem, remember OSI had Session and Presentation layers that added additional functionality (*). QUIC does include more Session functionality, but given how much it still pushes upwards into the application, it probably doesn't go far enough.

(*) Although I doubt it contained all of the Session and Presentation functionality we are now requiring. So not a case for promoting OSI as defined in 1988 as the solution to the problems QUIC is attempting to address.
