I'm assuming that lifecycle scripts (and scripts called by lifecycle scripts) in particular will still need to use common Windows-supported syntax? Even if the devs of the package are guaranteed to be using Yarn, people installing the package might still be using npm. So I assume some caveats apply to some scripts, right?

p.s. I love Yarn :)

The `postinstall` scripts would likely be better off without using those features, indeed. But in the end, your packages would be better off without `postinstall` scripts anyway ;)

Yeah I don't recommend `postinstall`, but `prepare` (and all the potential build-type scripts it could run) is actually useful (esp. for allowing people to install from unpublished versions via git), and would need special consideration. :(
