Summary

In v7 we stopped installing linked deps, in v8 we added the flag --install-links to accommodate this use case. In v9 we should make this the default again (ie. --install-links=true)

Really confused by this change. This seems to break anywhere we are running npm install in docker or CI/CD because we use git submodules. Is this now the expected behavior? Do we always have to do npm install --no-install-links now?
