There was a problem hiding this comment.
Put some thought into whether this is actually the right title when there isn't compatibility, but it seemed still fine but open to any thoughts

Outdated
| Connect-Python currently does not support the gRPC protocol due to lack of support for HTTP/2 trailers | ||

nit: I see "envoy" stylized both all lowercase and capitalized on https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/; I think I'd opt for caps here?

Looking a little more, although the logomark is lowercase, the rest of the docs seem to refer to it as Envoy (and so do the Connect docs). So I might just s/envoy/Envoy throughout this doc?
