Not to mention quite a few CI build pipelines.



FWIW it's trivial to install yarn already: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

NPM currently doesn't provide a standalone distribution as far as I can tell, but presumably they would offer one if they no longer had the luxury of being bundled with Node.

Since changes generally don't happen overnight I would expect a transitional period where Node still bundles npm-cli but npm Inc has the time to prepare a standalone distribution before yarn replaces npm-cli. Additionally downstream channels could decide to provide legacy packages containing both.
