Is there any reason to keep the http2 variant at all? It adds no dependencies. I'd be in favor of always enabling http2 and giving no option for disabling that.

Ideally, we'd offer a single configuration of nginx and loadable modules that can be separately compiled and enabled. Unfortunately nginx only recently added loadable module support and quite a few third-party modules haven't caught up, so my ideal vision of having a full-featured 'nginx' port and a bunch of 'nginx-$module' ports is not possible yet.

Until that is the case, the variants are the de-facto method to choose the module support you want in your nginx build, and we might as well keep http2 around for those who want to test with a non-HTTP/2 server.
