Yes, and the specs says...
The Via general-header field MUST be used by gateways and
proxies to indicate the intermediate protocols and recipients
between the user agent and the server on requests
The only way forward on that is educating implementers about the
importance of Via, and make them expose the following feature instead or
allowing Via to be removed:
However, if the real host is considered to be sensitive
information, it MAY be replaced by a pseudonym.
which is the correct resolution to the issue people try to solve by
removing the Via header..
