It appears to me, the implementation is already here. They are free to use
the proxy until it is blocked.

I don't mean to be obtuse, which arbitration case are you referring to?
Also - if I'm not mistaken, the folks editing behind the proxy, are not

Ah, my apologies. By arbitration request, I mean CharlotteWebb's:

You are quite right: people editing behind a proxy are not banned;
only the proxy is. This concept is a good start, but there is no way to
implement it on Wikipedia at the moment. Allowing modular
userrights or enabling [[Special:MakeIPExempt]] would change this.
The former is preferable to the latter, but long-term software goals
are not infringed at all by enabling the Make* extension.
