Bumping this,
A default lighthouse run shows this as an issue.

Would probably mean changes to https://github.com/developit/preact-cli/blob/e4ca195a8a6e515eb5e5a385928bf345703c1fda/packages/cli/lib/resources/template.html

After more research looks like this is addressed in the preact-cli 3 pre-release. The template HTML file that contains the tag is now in userland.
