Preloads list is an absolute kludge that does not and will never scale and creates a huge deal of problems and works only for specific browsers.
The task is not as simple as using DNS to store strict https flags(as DNS can be manipulated by intermediary), but hardcoding the lists in the browsers and keeping the lists in the chrome's code is definitely not a solution.
