why is .npmignore needed?

[RnbWd]

I didn't realize that .gitignore was copied over to .npmignore until just now:

Use a .npmignore file to keep stuff out of your package. If there's no .npmignore file, but there is a .gitignore file, then npm will ignore the stuff matched by the .gitignore file. If you want to include something that is excluded by your .gitignore file, you can create an empty .npmignore file to override it.

It was just an (unnecessary in hindsight) precaution to prevent ~100 mb npm downloads accidently (if we published a repo with dist/)
