Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Should a service worker be able to block with shared memory APIs? (#1115)

cc @slightlyoff @jakearchibald 

Chrome is likely shipping SharedArrayBuffer soon and Chrome needs to decide whether to ship Atomics on service worker. @jeisinger points out on https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=711809 that disabling Atomics means disabling WebAssembly on service worker.

Are we OK with this? As I wrote on the bug, since service worker is not designed for heavy synchronous tasks, I think I'm OK with it, though I may be short-sighted here. Of course it's easier to loosen the restrictions later if needed, than to go the opposite direction.
