Move autogenerated files to .yarn folder

[thefrana]

Hi,
I really like the idea of Yarn. It's great. One thing that is bothering me is that it creates a lot of files.

- .yarn/
- .yarnrc.yml
- .pnp.cjs
- .pnp.loader.mjs
- yarn.lock

Is it possible to move last three (auto-generated) files to .yarn/? I would keep only yarnrc.yml in the root folder and specify all locations of the moved files in the config. Or can I move even the config file to .yarn/?

Thanks

.yarnrc.yml can't move, since it follows a typical rc directory hierarchy structure.

.pnp.cjs can't move, since various tools expect it to be at the root in order to feature-detect PnP.

yarn.lock can't move, for the same reason.

.pnp.loader.mjs could potentially move, since it isn't used a lot yet.

So basically nothing can be moved. I think the root project folder is bloated that way, but I understand it. Thank you.

@arcanis I still think there's a case for a breaking change with the next version. The presence of a .yarn dir indicates this is a package. Requiring five items in a directory view is a lot.
