    I've not used Gateway, but I have felt the pain and confusion of Ingress. Hopefully this simplifies things for our Devops/SRE heroes.

    Since it makes no mention of ipv4 or ipv6 I'm going to hope it's underlying ip protocol agnostic and works in the UDP/TCP level only, which would encompass all TLS and QUIC behaviours too.

    Past experience with k8s suggests this hope is prone to being wishful thinking.

    Welp, I wonder when this will make sense to look at -- I'm pretty happy with `IngressRoute`[0] and related CRDs that are used with traefik.

    I guess when traefik goes all-in on gateway (they were one of the earliest with support for it), then it will make sense.

    Tools like istio provide this sort of functionality currently, right? Does this adding anything to that?

    I wonder how developers will be able to develop extensions for it.

    I hate when open source projects (especially common in the Kube-sphere I feel) adopt these super buzzwordy roles in their announcements.
