Keeping the Yarn column accurate takes ongoing tracking of a package manager we don't follow closely, and a stale column is worse than no column. This drops Yarn from the feature comparison, leaving pnpm and the npm CLI.

Along with the column:

  • Zero-Installs row removed — it existed only to contrast with Yarn; neither pnpm nor npm supports it.
  • Notes that only explained Yarn's behavior removed (Plug'n'Play "Default in Yarn", the nodeLinker: pnpm CAS note, "resolutions", the Plug'n'Play note on auto-install before script run, "Yarn has a plugin for it").
  • yarn.lock and yarn dlx dropped from the lockfile and dlx notes.

Only docs/feature-comparison.md (the current version) is changed; versioned docs are left as published.

We can't reliably keep the Yarn column up to date, so drop it and
compare pnpm against the npm CLI only.

The Zero-Installs row went away with it: it existed to contrast with
Yarn, and neither pnpm nor npm supports it. Notes that only explained
Yarn's behavior were removed too.

High-Level Assessment

The focused two-manager comparison is appropriate because it reduces maintenance risk without changing published versioned docs. Retaining Yarn with reduced detail or adding an external comparison would still require ongoing validation and weaken the page's purpose.

Remove Yarn from the current feature comparison

• Drops the Yarn column, the Yarn-only Zero-Installs row, and Yarn-specific explanatory notes and command references. The remaining table directly compares pnpm with npm while preserving relevant links and notes.
