Um, this is very confusing. Can you please re-word that using the names
of things instead of "it"?

FYI: "collapsed forwarding" is a Squid custom feature. It is not part of
HTTP at all. So "doing it right" is left to personal opinion.

Also the 2.6 and 2.7 series were a temporary fork off 2.5 intended
simply to collect and test a lot of patches people made against 2.5
C-code when they should have been re-based on the 3.0. Those series were
never actually intended to be stable or used for long.
 The volunteers and sponsors (thank you all!) who are picking up the
slack in porting to Squid-3 are fixing a lot of bugs and design problems
as they go. So the Squid-3 behaviour is not necessarily going to be
identical to the Squid-2 behaviour.
