1. **PR**: [#4335 Make 'npm install --loglevel warn' Output Quieter](https://github.com/npm/cli/pull/4335) - @DabeDotCom
- @ruyadorno
- want to have no output at the end of `install`
- @lukekarrys
- have been working on this
- seems like a case by case for specific output
3. **PR**: [#516 RFC: Deprecated packages UX revamp](https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/516) - @ruyadorno
- @ruyadorno
- cleaning up output of `install` ever since v7
- deprecation warnings are the last set not consolidated into a single line of output (ex. `found 9 deprecated packages & need your attention`)
- `npm deprecated` | `npm deprecations` for listing current deprecation notices
- @rarkins
- @darcyclarke
- add `--no-deprecations` opt-out flag
- @ljharb
- deprecation warnings for transitive dependencies should not be bubbled up
- `npm deprecations <pkg>` to see current deprecation notices for a specific package
- @ruyadorno
- we talked about this before, to have `npm deprecations` work like `npm ls` & need `--all` to see everything
4. **PR**: [#4260 feat(arborist)(reify): add an ability to add a hook](https://github.com/npm/cli/pull/4260) - @fritzy

10. **PR**: [#519 RFC: Package Distributions](https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/519) - @darcyclarke
- @ljharb would prefer to see the RFC tackle a more broad set of usecases for distributions/variants
- @darcyclarke the current proposal is purposely very focused on a narrow set of usecases so that we can provide an optimal experience f...
- @ruyadorno
- this is essentially a first-step
- this provides an initial set of distribution conditions
- we can have future rfcs incrementing optionalDependencies / distributions
