Squid has the infrastructure to replace/remove headers on requests, and
internall can do the same to replies, there is no UI to configure
user-sanitization of replies as yet though.

Stripping Vary is something a site administrator could choose to do, but
ONLY IF there are no child shared caches. Still, IMO a dangerous thing
to do.
