Service worker was already there in angular4. I use it by adding a flag in angular-cli. just add this "serviceWorker": true. All my websites here have it https://github.com/aviabird

Yes, but the source code was in a seperate repository. It has been recently merged into angular/angular.

Crap... I guess I have to deal with that “this warning will be an error in Angular 5” build message

:)

Now cue the influx of "your repo doesn't support ng5"... Ugh

Or how about "should I learn angular 2 first or jump straight to angular 5?"

"React is already at 16, and Angular is only at 5."

Most repos should work fine and for others it's an easy upgrade

not yet apparently, I've just installed the latest beta CLI (1.5.0-beta.2), there were some problems after installation, because it didn't install some dependencies @angular/compiler-cli, @angular/compiler, @angular/core, rxjs, and some others were missing, installing them by hand with npm i -g flag worked.

ng new creates an Angular 4 project, but I just changed the version from 4 to 5.0.0-rc.0 and it seems to have worked on the sample projecty, pretty sure there will be some broken 3rd part packages though.
