I think you may want to file an RFC for this?

[isaacs]

Yes, this needs to be an RFC. Most of the change will be in https://github.com/npm/arborist (for installing) and https://github.com/npm/libnpmpublish and https://github.com/npm/libnpmpack (for publishing).

I tried searching the npm/rfcs but couldn't find anything on this topic. Google brings you here when googling workspace protocol for npm. Does anyone have a link to where this is being tracked if it was submitted elsewhere?

This has been reopened and transferred to the RFCs repo.
