With the increase in the use of dynamic resource loaders, it's becoming more and more common that resources are being lazy-loaded/on-demand loaded well after the page finishes its initial load. The effect is that there's a lot of resources on a page which cannot be re-requested by doing a shift+refresh like the web browsers have always worked before.

It's an extremely common problem in my development that I'm working on changes to a single JavaScript file, but that file is being dynamically loaded to the page, and so my only way to get that resource to be re-requested from the server is to manually clear the cache (instead of a shift+reload).

I'm sorry, but I've got to vehemently disagree that this should be the intentional design of the browser. Maybe it's not a "bug" in the true sense of the term, but it's certainly quite unexpected for people to shift+reload a page and only some of the resources are re-validated, while others lately sit in cache and never get re-requested.
