+This directory contains tests that are flaky when run with other tests
+but that we don't want to disable and where it's not trivial to make
+the tests not flaky at this time, but we have a plan to fix them via
+systemic fixes that are improving the codebase rather than hacking a
+test until it works.
+
+This directory and ugly hack structure needs to exist because of
+multi-e10s propagation races that will go away when we finish
+implementing the multi-e10s overhaul for ServiceWorkers. Most
+specifically, unregister() calls need to propagate across all
+content processes. There are fixes on bug 1318142, but they're
+ugly and complicate things.
+
+Specific test notes and rationalizations:
+- multi-e10s-update: This test relies on there being no registrations
+ existing at its start. The preceding test that induces the breakage
+ (`browser_force_refresh.js`) was made to clean itself up, but the
+ unregister() race issue is not easily/cleanly hacked around and this
+ test will itself become moot when the multi-e10s changes land.
