Does this mean nginx is not going to be able to listen for both SPDY and HTTP2.0 connections on the same IP at the same time ?

SPDY is getting removed from most browsers as well (because it was an experiment in the first place) so unless you have a specially coded web client with SPDY patched back in, there will be fewer and fewer clients able to request SPDY.

No. From the article:

> The SPDY support is removed, as it's incompatible with the new module.

I wonder what happens to the SPDY-specific directives once support is removed. I use 'listen 443 ssl spdy;' and 'add_header Alternate-Protocol 443:npn-spdy/3;'. If these are just ignored no problem, but I wonder if it breaks anything?

Those directives will no longer pass the linting that nginx does on its configuration file. New versions of Nginx with spdy support removed will not start until you remove those directives.

They are treated as syntax errors, but I think it does give an error message that spdy is deprecated and to remove.
