• As core contributor of stylelint i opened issue https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/issues/4045 too
• Ava use this for cache
• nyc use this module
• babel use this module
• storybook use this module

Unfortunately, it looks like there wasn’t enough interest from the team or community to implement this change. While we wish we’d be able to accommodate everyone’s requests, we do need to prioritize. We’ve found that issues failing to reach accepted status after 21 days tend to never be accepted, and as such, we close those issues. This doesn’t mean the idea isn’t interesting or useful, just that it’s not something the team can commit to.

Thanks for contributing to ESLint and we appreciate your understanding.
