Since we've dropped `referrer` and `reflected-xss` from CSP2, yes. I
would like to get both back in when CSP3 comes around, and I'm
confident that we can find ways to do so (limiting them both to
`no-referrer` and `block`, for instance).

I've also added an issue to the spec about dropping reporting:
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/csp-pinning/#issue-d8134519. I
hope we can figure out a way to serve the central use case (which I
would suggest is reporting pages on which you should have served a
policy), but if we can't, we can't.

Because I don't understand why ServiceWorkers have introduced
path-based granularity. As I noted in that thread (and as Brian
agreed), the origin makes sense as a security boundary. Pretending
that such a boundary exists for paths seems problematic.
