Yes. Basically, we'd only do a priming ping if the origin being requested
wasn't already marked as HSTSized in the user's local browser. The fact
that we _would_ do a priming ping for non-secure origins that aren't in the
local browser's HSTS list ensures that we can do the upgrade without
breakage.
