Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Soft Update seems way to aggressive (#1250)

Is there some reason that method doesn't work for them?

Sure, but if you have pushed a broken service worker already, its hard to go back and add js code to `update()`.  If the recommendation is to never ship a SW without an explicit `update()`, then it seems like that should be the default platform behavior.

The update-on-navigate algorithm was introduced before I started working on SW.  Maybe others can discuss other options that were considered and why this was chosen as the best alternative.
