Same here. Corepack was fine and there is already too much churn

First I'm hearing of it, and it does dampen my enthusiasm for v12 a bit.

Is "pnpm installs the other package managers" what you're talking about, or something else? That doesn't quite read like removing corepack support to me, though I might be missing something obvious.

pnpm 12 supports corepack (or better phrased - corepack supports pnpm 12).

they just don't recommend it.

nodejs stopped bundling corepack since node 25, maybe you're referring to that?

I was also bothered by this. I don't care if you use LLMs to write most or all of your code, but at least have the courtesy of actually writing your blog posts & readmes, to demonstrate that you at least understand what the LLM generated for you.

Hey Claude, write in the worst possible claudism way you possibly can, and make it sound like every other text on the internet that is published nowadays.

"This post covers what pnpm 12 adds that pnpm 11 never shipped."

Same here, what if the internals get the same absence of care? No thank you.
