Hi Mathew,

connections are handled in worker processes, and reload means running
new worker processes, that don't have state for existing connections.
QUIC doesn't change how nginx handles connections, so there are no
specific plans to change it.

Can you please elaborate how HTTP/3 makes things worse from your
perspective?
