Description
In microsoft/TypeScript#59518 I was updating TS to use ESLint v9 and typescript-eslint v8. I noticed in the lockfile that @eslint/eslintrc was present even though I didn't depend on it. npm why @eslint/eslintrc gave me:
@eslint/[email protected] dev
node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc
peer @eslint/eslintrc@">=2" from @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
node_modules/@typescript-eslint/rule-tester
dev @typescript-eslint/rule-tester@"^8.1.0" from the root project
@eslint/eslintrc@"^3.1.0" from [email protected]
node_modules/eslint
dev eslint@"^9.9.0" from the root project
My reading of this is that eslint itself still depends on this, so it can't go away, but I didn't realize this at the time and thought @typescript-eslint/rule-tester may be the only reason we had it. Searching though the package, I noticed that it never uses @eslint/eslintrc, so the dep could actually just be removed without any changes.
Filing an issue since I think you require one before sending a PR.
