Accidentally cache your index.js file? You are now stuck with your serviceworker forever (unless you do some chrome voodoo). The promise is there, but it’s just a gigantic footgun.

If you build your SPA to an index.js file and serve it without a timestamp you're screwed when it gets cached too.

Not nearly as much since every browser has a variety of ways to perform a cache refresh.

Any issue with webworkers is almost by necessity opaque.
