Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the npm update-notifier configuration described in the linked npm documentation and determine how major, minor, and security notices should be represented instead of the current boolean. Done means producing an agreed RFC for the configuration behavior and its update-notifier scope.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
There should be a way to suppress minor version update notices. Currently, there is only a on/off solution; but this does not allow for those of us who want major and security updates to receive notices.
Motivation ("The Why")
I want to receive notices about major and security updates to NPM. I don't however need to update for each minor update.
How
Current Behaviour
The current configuration flag is a boolean that determines if an update is checked at all.
Desired Behaviour
Update to the configuration flag from a simple boolean to allow silencing other types of update notices.
