Converting to a Discussion as that's where we handle our feature requests.

We parse lockfiles to get knowledge about the package and task graph, letting us create all the optimizations that we do. Since every package manager has a different lockfile format, we have to write fresh code for every one.

Is there documentation on why there's a strict allowlist of package managers that turborepo works with as opposed to being agnostic of the package manager?

HI, we're not looking to support any new package managers right now. Maybe in the future! Will leave this open for posterity and anyone who wants to add their interest can add a 👍 to the top-level.

Note - the issue template also only allows me to select a set list of package managers that doesn't list vlt yet either
