Usually is the case.. and I know from experience things can get quite
painful if it is not immediately planned to have the code integrated in
the main tree, which requires Squid-HEAD.

Making a development in the STABLE version of Squid makes it easier to
quickly deliver a production quality release to the end user, but at the
same time risk having to redo the same work later. If both are done
approximately at the same time things tends to work out better.

Would also allow a few other interesting things to be done. Also, as it
is not directly related to transparency and also needed for other
purposes you might get lucky and someone else does it.. but don't bet on
it.

Looking forward to help you get started.
