Re: [whatwg/fetch] Referrer policy: Should request's referrer policy be updated in the main fetch? (#266)

I'm not sure what you mean with "existing" and "update the policy". But the "referrer" is actually _set_ at the beginning of Fetch to the result of applying the referrer policy. And then that "referrer" is passed on to the service worker. So once the page policy is applied, the service worker never sees the original referrer, it only gets a trimmed down one (potentially even a "no-referrer" one). It won't be able to turn that back into a full referrer as far as I can tell.

In other words, as long as the policy only has an effect on the referrer of the request, you can't really make more of less.
