Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Extended lifetime shared workers (Issue #1089)

Hi @domenic, thanks for pointing out the hidden resource cost for preparing a shared worker to have an extended lifetime. There is a concern we previously raised that isn't addressed yet:

What if developers set `extendedLifetime: true` to every shared worker just to be "safe" (as it won't break any app) without realizing the hidden resource cost of doing so?

Since using a shared worker causes so many detailed issues (like mismatching options, reconnection, etc), should we instead introduce a new type of worker (not a worklet as already discussed in the explainer) that is designed for this use case?
