Specifically, to only link publish files and dependencies from the dependencies object. This would likely result in a watcher.
Motivation
Only publish files
In a development environment, it's possible files that are not published are present and accessible, leading to an inconsistent/inaccurate package.
Removes dev dependencies
When linking a development package, the linked package's node_modules directory usually contains devDependencies.
If the package's dev dependency is also a peer dependency, it's usually provided by the consuming app. However, when linked, Node will resolve the closest dependency, which is unexpected.
