>From a discussion on #2857:

We should probably have a conversation about the trade-offs with padding.  Transport-layer padding is in some ways superior, like in how it can be granular to a single byte, which reserved streams and frames cannot do.  But PADDING frames at the transport aren't retransmitted when lost, which could lead to some interesting attacks if packets can be suppressed by an attacker.  If retransmissions aren't padded, boom.
