Hey Lyo looks pretty practical, but I'm worried that this will just give devs permission to keep on publishing everything as babel-only CJS. We have standard modules now, and I don't think it's a crazy thing to suggest that all libraries (especially platform agnostic things like sha1) should be published as javascript modules and not node modules.

Yes, you're right. But at the same time, I don't think Lyo is to blame here.

First, I don't understand the node.js delay to support standard module (esm is 3k stars on github). Then, I don't understand Browserify refusal to support them (like webpack do).
Devs should pressure both of those to align with w3c standards and get rid of this CJS/AMD/UMD/Export crzyness.

I think Lyo is a tool that need to die (as good as it is), but in the mean time it's good to have it.

I like that. "A tool that needs to die". Very cool.
