Fetch top dependent projects automatically

[bahmutov]

If user has option --top 5 find 5 most popular NPM projects that depend on your package instead of .dont-break file

Post to npm/npm#6510 when done

Can you cache it somewhere else instead and do it automagically? I have enough dotfiles in my repos. I don't want the .dont-break one.

[bahmutov]

I am thinking the best approach to this would be a grunt / gulp plugin that would sidestep manual .dont-break file completely.

I usually don't use grunt/gulp for node modules. Make it frictionless and boilerplate-less to use, otherwise at least I'm not going to use it, saying this in the nicest way ever :)

Curious why a separate dotfile is required rather than just utilizing a prop in package.json. Seems like this was an intentional decision?

[bahmutov]

Separate file was simpler to use because the tool can grab dependent projects and save it. I agree with you that it should be additional property in the package json file too.
