Let’s be clear that enabling Yarn and pnpm means creating executables for them.

TBD
The objective of the vote is to determine a basic question: do we continue bundling
the corepack binary with Node.js or not, and if so, do we enable bundling jumper
binaries for its supported package managers (such as yarn and pnpm) by default or not.
There are additional questions to resolve that will be handled separately.

# 6. Optionally, insert a brief introduction for the vote PR, in the markdown format.

There are several different visions being worked out about the future distribution
strategy of package managers and Node.js itself. Some of them involve a bundled
corepack, some of them need a standalone corepack, some of them do not involve
corepack. We still have not decided on which vision we want. This vote is
specifically about whether we should continue bundling corepack before we
decide on the vision of our distribution strategy. It is separate from whether
corepack should eventually stay in the organization or be part of the
future of Node.js, as those are still unclear until we decide about our vision
in the distribution strategy.

Alternatively we can just decide what vision we want, and presumably based on that this vote won’t be necessary.
