> Will Cloudflare be curating a list of useful worker scripts?
Better than that, we plan to unify this with Cloudflare Apps, so people can publish a reusable script as an app, and other people can then "install" that app onto their site with a click.
> Do requests made from the API go through Cloudflare's usual pipeline, or do they go straight to the backend? In short, will we need to manage the cache ourselves?
The worker sits in front of the cache, so subrequests made by calling fetch() will go through the usual caching logic.
Eventually we also plan to expose the "Cache" API from standard Service Workers to allow you to manipulate the cache directly for advanced use cases, but this shouldn't be necessary for most people.
> And finally, does this change Cloudflare's role as a "dumb" intermediary?
That sounds like a policy question, which isn't my department. ;)
