I think it's both :-)

Some people at F5 know haproxy's internal architecture quite well and
have already reported bugs in the past. So for such people it only
requires a quick look at the relevant code to see that haproxy is not
vulnerable to such attacks, thus it doesn't need to be tested. The
SETTINGS frame is trivial to parse for us (it can be more expensive for
some implementations which would perform some realloc() for example),
and slow POST requests don't cause more harm than idle connections thus
(except when facing an undiscovered bug of course) everything should be
fine regarding this.

Thanks for the link,
Willy
