As the article mentions the issue is also part of TLS/1.2 and the
features behind it can already be configured to disable as needed. It is
unlikely that we would remove such a useful config option any time soon.


Also, it is worth stating that this type of tracking does not work
through a TLS proxy. The TLS session between client and proxy is not
shared with server and vice versa. The proxy<->server TLS session which
it might try tracking contains multiplexed traffic from many clients so
is not a reliable per-user tracker to the server.


Things get a lot less clear when SSL-Bumping since there is a mix of
OpenSSL and Squid code doing things and actions like peek/stare/splice
may require side effects of preventing TLS feature removal/disable.

It is an admin choice how and when to use such actions though so again
already configurable if one understand what those actions do rather than
just blindly throwing copy-paste config settings at the proxy until
something "works".
