- This is a CLI Docs Problem.
Description of Problem
When running npm install using workspaces, common modules are installed in the root. There are some that I don't want this to happen to, but there seems to be no way or no documented way to achieve this.
Is this a feature issue or just not available in the documentation?
Potential Solution
Provide simple and clear instructions in workspace docs on how to exclude modules from being optimised into the root.

Research direction
Start by locating the npm CLI workspace documentation and the guidance covering npm install behavior.
