Subject: [SIP] VIA field

It might be a basic question, sorry for that..

My understanding is that the "VIA" field serves two purposes:
1)Loop detection
2)Keeping proxies (which are part of the message forwarding path) in the response path.

My question is: Does that mean also stateless proxies will be in the response path? 
If YES, perhaps it worths to enable a proxy to add a Boolean tag, which says: "Hey I am adding myself to the VIA list just for the sake of loop prevention, but count me out for
the response thing"
