Question: how should this be used?

[jgoz]

In your comment, you asked for people to be early adopters and I would be happy to be one of them.

How do you envision this package should be used? Ideally, for my own use case, normalized-fs could be set up to replace graceful-fs without much hassle. I see you have a replace-gfs folder in this project - could that be used in other projects?

Perhaps by adding normalized-fs as a (dev) dependency and setting up a resolution for graceful-fs like you have done, it would avoid pulling graceful-fs altogether.

The replace-gfs package is only used internally atm but I am thinking about moving it out to it's own package that can be used in the way you describe. Would that help?

But yeah, you should be able to override graceful-fs by setting up resolutions to use normalized-fs instead.

Yeah, that could certainly help. Ideally, major projects (like Jest) would drop graceful-fs altogether, but I'm thinking pessimistically — it will take time before it starts disappearing from dependency graphs, so having a standard way of overriding it would be nice for the near term.
