 Not yet but they're working towards it, which will make this entire debate moot as miners will then be able to construct their own block template regardless of the pool's transaction filtering parameters. 
 Ahh this fills in a few more puzzle pieces for me. I had THOUGHT that Stratum v2 meant that miners build their own blocks, but was confused by reports that OCEAN took orders from Luke's nodes.

 Currently, OCEAN pool contributors have to use OCEAN'S block template because they haven't implemented that part of Stratum v.2 yet.  Once they do, contributors will be able to build their own block templates. 
 So this is even less of an issue and there are even fewer reasons for everyone to react like shit-flinging monkes.
