Some years ago, when Parcel was \"just\" a bundler with a few thousand users, Devon Govett wrote an RFC proposing that we standardise `package.json`. Because it was (and to some extent still is?) a complete mess. One of the NPM developers became [very defensive](https://x.com/cherthedev/status/1014278462218035200).\n\nThere are a lot of things that aren't great about Microsoft's stewardship, but they're a hell of a lot better at listening to feedback than the original NPM org",
