[npm] What should we do about lockfiles?
See original GitHub issueRight now it doesn’t seem that there’s any package-lock.json files in any of the packages. But the lerna exec npm install will create a lockfile in each package.
Npm claims that we should commit these. Is there any reason we haven’t?
Could we either add them or add them to the .gitignore?

@hshoff Only apps should have lockfiles. Libs/packages should add
package-lock=falseto.npmrc, and gitignorepackage-lock.json,npm-shrinkwrap.json, andyarn.lock, full stop.
