> I never suggested using a commit message, there are plenty of other ways to document these things and I'll leave that up to the user to figure out.

Dude, I think you're lost, in more ways than one. I was directly responding to a comment that stated "Surely that's what the commit message is for?"

For the rest of your comment, at this point I'd rather have an argument with a dining room table. No shit you can't have comments in package.json now, that's the entire reason that issue https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4482 is unfixable. If JSON supported comments from the beginning, then tooling would have to respect that, just like the bajillion other config file formats that support tooling that updates the config file programmatically.
