Thought this would be of interest here. If you have any response I
recommend replying to [email protected]; the platform
developers are unlikely to see it here and I'm an unreliable go-between,
especially in this holiday/end-of-year period.

Subject: Intent to disable service workers in 45 ESR
To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>


Hello,

We are currently planning to ship service workers in firefox 44 on both
desktop and android.  AFAIK, the next ESR is going to be firefox 45.  We
plan to disable service workers on all platforms for the ESR release.

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1232029

We're doing this for a couple reasons:

1) Our implementation is likely to change in significant ways in the next
few months that will make it quite hard to perform uplifts.
2) The spec is still changing; sometimes in significant ways.

We feel freezing the current service worker API in an ESR will create too
many compat issues over the next 9 months or so.  Therefore we plan to
enable the feature only in our evergreen release branches.

Please let us know if there are any concerns.

Thank you.

Ben
