I'm relatively sure that even Jimbo himself has stated that he doesn't have a problem with users editing through proxies as long as they are doing so in good faith.
I seem to remember this too. Couldn't find the exact email, though.
See [[Wikipedia talk:No open proxies#A general statement]].
"I would like this policy to be (thoughtfully, slowly, and with due consideration for all valid viewpoints) revised a bit to include a stronger acknowledgment that editing via open proxies can be a valid thing to do."
This is a pretty strange comment if editing via open proxies is already a violation of policy. He didn't say he thinks the policy should be revised to allow editing via open proxies, but rather he said he thinks it should have "a stronger acknowledgment" that this is already allowed.
