I do agree that HTTP/2 Server Push support needs to be removed. It is mostly equivalent to "Link: rel=preload" HTTP header, and adds little to no value (or even negative value, as per Chrome study).

Note though that implementing 103 Early Hints is a separate thing. Further, it will require some major work to be done, as currently nginx has no infrastructure to handle 1xx informational responses.
