Need goals/use cases #401

Open GeoffreyBooth opened 4 months ago

GeoffreyBooth commented 4 months ago

https://github.com/nodejs/corepack/blob/main/DESIGN.md seems to reflect outdated goals for Corepack. What are the current goals that Corepack aims to achieve? Can this document please be updated to clarify what use cases Corepack is aiming to satisfy?

I wasn't asking for the document to be removed, I was asking for it to be updated. What are the goals and use cases of Corepack? Can you please draft a document that explains?

If this project were within the Node repo such a "delete this" PR would not have been able to land so fast.

I guess this is a duplicate of https://github.com/nodejs/corepack/issues/252 then.

GeoffreyBooth commented 4 months ago

It's not. That issue asks for a better readme and understanding of how Corepack works. I'm asking for use cases, which don't generally go on a readme.

Do you want to amend the issue title and OP to reflect that?

Fine. Here’s an example from another project: https://github.com/nodejs/loaders/blob/main/doc/use-cases.md
