Reducing pnpm's install footprint

[pralkarz]

Looking at pnpm's dependencies, I noticed many that could be either replaced with lighter alternatives (e.g. chalk -> picocolors) or dropped entirely to use Node's native functionality (e.g. the recently replaced strip-ansi or various filesystem utility functions like fs-extra that are widely supported in Node 18+).

I'm willing to contribute some PRs, but I'd like to first gather some feedback from the users and the maintainers regarding whether this is something you're interested in?
