For the record Eric,

We use unicorn at Discourse to serve concurrent long polls across 100s
of hosted forums using hijack with zero issues using
https://github.com/SamSaffron/message_bus

I am not particularly enthused WebSockets and have blogged about my
reservations, in an HTTP/2 world I am less clear about how they fit in
except for some very niche uses.

If this becomes a core Rack specification and now forces all Rack
implementation to carry around websocket framing protocol and
epoll/kqueue I would also be less excited.
