nolyfill only devDependencies?

[jonny133]

Would it be feasible to nolyfill only devDependencies? Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

An example use case is in the context of an environment where we are building code for browsers, where we want to support down to, say, ES6. Assume that in our production dependencies we use various libraries and build processes, some of which may contain polyfills as subdependencies which are detected by nolyfill and we don't want replaced.

However, devDependencies such as eslint plugins take a long time to run, on a Node.js 12+ (ES2019+) environment that one would like to have the benefits of nolyfill for.
