Re: Push API change for permissions UX

This discussion is about how often push may be processed silently (without
showing a notification), not if a push notification may *only* show a
notification.

The latter was shown to be insufficient in the other thread.

I suggest that if we attempt to solve this use case, that we do it by
adding the ability to send push messages that directly create a
notification, without waking up a SW.

There's recently been a separate thread about that.
