Description

I wonder whether it would be possible to link binaries in all workspaces from dependencies declared in the root?

Right now to call binaries within a workspace one should redeclare it. It leads to trouble with keeping identical versions between workspaces.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how yarn workspace scripts resolve binary paths and propose a mechanism to link root dependencies' binaries into all workspaces without redeclaration.
