Hello @dr3, Thank you for creating this feature request and we will get back to you once we have some feedback on this :)

Hello @dr3, Thank you for your suggestion and for referencing PNPM’s support for the use-node-version field in .npmrc. We appreciate the thought you’ve put into how this feature could streamline version management and enhance compatibility for PNPM users.
After internal review, we’ve decided not to move forward with this enhancement at this time. While we recognize the potential value it could bring to specific workflows, we haven’t seen enough broader demand or adoption to justify the added complexity and maintenance this feature would introduce.

We’ll continue to monitor interest in this area and are open to revisiting the idea in the future as the ecosystem evolves. We appreciate your contribution and encourage you to share any additional feedback to help guide future improvements.
