Uh, oh, it seems somebody didn’t do their Wikipedia homework (*).

HTTP/3 is completed:

(And, yes, this is a “Proposed Standard”.  Which means it has received more quality control than most other standards in networking/IT space.  That label hurts.  Read [1] and weep.  “Less mature” __ ___.)

(*) Cleaning up Wikipedia articles is a regular assignment in our information security classes.
Wikipedia articles often get started in an early stage and have trouble absorbing the updating reality.
