When articles are read via planet sites, email, feed readers, and other applications that interact with the blog over RSS, the lead paragraph is missing.

In the case of HTTP/2 revisited the lead says that we found regressions and that we're sharing our lessons learned. The article then starts with a backstory that initially started more positive. Without that lead, the article is much less interesting to keep reading, I think, as it appears to promise what people have likely heard alreayd in some form: HTTP/2 is an all-win cure-all.

There's a similar issue with author information being missing and not natively available to external consumers. This is currently worked around I believe by placing it into the article as well. Perhaps a workaround for this could be to remove the display of the "excerpt" lead on the article page, and instead place it there manually if/when the excerpt is acting as lead to include - and also have the benefit of being able to exclude it thus for cases where the excrept is only used for the Techblog homepage.
