2. **PR**: [#525 Stop storing `integrity` for git dependencies](https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/525) - @nlf
- @ruyadorno
- what if we steered users away from git dependencies in general?
- maybe we throw warnings
- maybe we start notifying we're deprecating
- definitely on board with this idea
- @ljharb
- git deps should only be for development
- how do file dependencies behave? we should mimic that experience
- @fritzy
- we should warn when we see transitive dependencies that are gi deps
- @ljharb
- maintainers would have to fork & publish
- deprecation indicates discouragement
- not sure this is a good thing in anyway
- @ruyadorno
- we could do this under a config value to skip git dependencies (ex. `--ignore-git-deps`)
- @ljharb
- Node has a Policies feature
- npm could/should probably support this
- Package authors' declared policies / capabilities
4. **PR**: [#522 Option for npm diff to ignore cr at eol](https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/522) - @oBusk
- @ruyadorno
- we should do whatever `git diff` does/supports
- lets follow the naming of the `git` flag
- keep open for another week & then ratify
5. **PR**: [#4260 feat(arborist)(reify): add an ability to add a hook](https://github.com/npm/cli/pull/4260) - @fritzy
- @fritzy
- clarify they are not the author
- should be careful about what hooks we add as features
- WIP RFC
6. **PR**: [#519 RFC: Package Distributions](https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/519) - @darcyclarke
- @darcyclarke
- no updates yet but seeing a lot of traction in the community
- @ruyadorno
- are we going to open a diff PR for the "Expanding optional dependencies conditions"?
- this would mean it's easier/faster to get market validation
- **Actions:**
- [ ] @darcyclarke Schedule a working session to review Package Distributions & Optional Dependenyc Conditionals
