The header is part of the request, it is user input and shouldn't even
be trusted in the first place. Most of the time I'd reject a request
without a host header for instance.

And also I don't even know X-Edition's purpose, so I can't answer your
question with just VCL. That being said, the answer is most likely no
anyway.
