Description

In #16162 , We determined to revert f6107ca24b4cf22dcf7fd69d65612ad718c48fca in commit d8306453385a4991e40b4738982bf9617b6c1ccf because it was breaking MLEHMANN/AnyEvent-HTTP-2.23. The plan was to put the commit back into 5.30 but I think we're too late in that cycle and the current one to put it back in.

So my question: Do we want to action this in v5.33.1 or do we want to drop this all together? What notifications will need to be made to make this happen?
