Re: [ServiceWorker] ServiceWorker Longevity (#840)

The spec is written such that the browser can kill the service worker thread whenever it thinks make sense.  In practice, both chrome and Firefox implement a grace period before terminating the thread.

The MDN text is strongly worded to discourage people from relying on global state.  Note, however, it does not state the definition of "idle".
