Comment (by jnylen0):

 I should've searched and found this ticket before opening #40421, but
 before we make a decision here I'd like to see us take one of two steps,
 with the goal of preserving a clean source tree for people (like me) who
 are already using `yarn`:

 - '''Commit `yarn.lock`''' to the source tree.  This does not impose a
 requirement that people start to use yarn, rather it merely provides
 additional benefits if you do (deterministic installs including all
 versions of sub-dependencies).
 - '''Ignore `yarn.lock` in `git` and `svn`'''.  This also does not create
 any kind of expectation that people must use `yarn` instead of `npm
 install`, though there are a lot of benefits. This will allow people to
 continue using `yarn` if they wish, with a clean source tree.
