Description
Hi 👋
I would like to bring up the topic of creating official ESM mirrors for widely used packages like `cookie`.
## Motivation
- Eases propagation of changes to dependents that are ESM-only or dual-published.
- Has relatively low cost for self-contained packages like `cookie`. I'm not proposing this for every package.
- Encourages the use of ESM and brings the entire ecosystem forward. If not giants like `cookie`, then who?
This proposal originates from [my Twitter post](https://x.com/kettanaito/status/1850983192729198651).
## Execution
You can choose to have a standalone repo or keep the ESM mirror within the same repository. I leave that decision to you.
I would be more than happy to discuss this and help with organizing the repo to provision ESM publishing. Thank you.
