Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the automated update list and tracing how the googleapis package version is selected and published; done would require a defined semver-compatible versioning policy and verification that automated updates no longer report unjustified major versions.

Description

size: s type: process
A screenshot that you have tested with "Try this API".

Every week that we use our automated update, the only thing that always appears in the list of major updates is googleapis.
Please stop this madness. I know Google is used to this behavior. We see it in Chrome versions. But here in NPM, it breaks the true spirit of semver.

What would you like to see in the library?
