It seems like a hack that just exists so that HTTP2 can work
efficiently while still keeping the old http:// scheme.

Agreed. The client already knows that it has accessed a gemini:// URI.The server knows what the client is asking for. There is no need changeprotocol from that point, thus no ALPN necessary. From what Iunderstand, ALPN was invented (by Google) pretty much just for clientsand servers to decide early whether to user HTTP2 or not. For as longas there's no Gemini 3.11 or whatever, there's nothing to negotiate.
