But in the current world, you can serve new content on the conditional check that caches currently do.

That said, I am ultimately for this. I think. There is plenty of data showing that this is a low hanging fruit to hit.

The conditional check that they do sometimes. Now half your users see the new version and half see the old version. Not much of a recall.
Still more of a recall than will be possible in the new world. And you can always detect the old code and prompt users to refresh. (Typically happens on a restart.)

Again, though, I am ultimately for this. I just remain skeptical of any panacea.
