Indeed they have, however, the method as outlined in this I-D only
works if all proxies in the request chain either supports the
extension or does not support it at all.

If you have a mix of proxies some supporting the connection pinning
extension and some not supporting it then very bad things will happen
as the browser then gets fooled into thinking that connection pinning
is supported by the request path.
