I wonder if it'd be too late for http/3 to say "user-agent is deprecated, user-agents should not send it, any server accepting http/3 may assume the following compatibility value for the header without it being sent".

Was anything like that considered during the http/3 design process?

(I saw the linked "client hints" proposal in the article, but that doesn't mention the idea of completely dropping the header from client requests and assuming a certain baseline value for http/3.)
