Yeah, @jakearchibald and friends were promoting this a while back as part of SW development (that's not to point fingers - caching is hard, and that approach works well). However, it's still a hack... and like all hacks, it has pros/cons. Additionally, the file hashing may be baked into some developer/command line tools, like webpack - but Jake probably knows more.
