Let's preface this by saying that I LOVE the work the pnpm maintainers have created. I've been using (and spreading) pnpm for many years at this point. It has made everything related npm just a joy.
I wanted to ask the sentiment around about release cycles/frequency.
Somehow I have the feeling that a new version of pnpm is published every week or so. This is a bit annoying if you pin your package manager as a dep. What? short release == bad? What the hell is he talking about?
hear me out :)
I think it might be beneficial to bundle releases on a monthly basis. Why? with user facing software, that updates automatically this is done for them. In the
corepack
era, where you must pin the exact version, this is a bit annoying if you have many repos.I generally want to read release notes, but doing it on a weekly basis is to much time.
Having a more bundled, less frequent release cycle is IMO better also for excitement, as it get's more mind share and coverage. So might be also beneficial from a "marketing" standpoint, not only "usability"
But maybe i'm alone with my thoughts xD
Of course security and severe bug patches are excluded from the whole discussion.
Anyways, keep being an awesome project! ❤️
