-  #   1. npm ci does not consider the platform of optional dependencies
-  #      https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/558
-  #   2. A bug with the native compiler has bloated the packages from
-  #      30MB to almost 300MB
-  #      https://github.com/google/closure-compiler-npm/issues/186
-  # If either of these bugs are fixed then we can remove this exception
