Why `resolutions` does not be supported in package.json same as bower.json

As we know, the resolutions is used to solve Dependency versions to automatically resolve with if conflicts occur between packages. in bower.json.

After searching this package.json page, I did not find the resolutions is supported in it. Is there any reason why resolutions should not be here or am I missing something?

Yarn does have the resolutions feature though, see doc here

yarn install --flat

Only allow one version of a package. On the first run this will prompt you to choose a single version for each package that is depended on at multiple version ranges. These will be added to your package.json under a resolutions field.

It's not in the package.json specification because it's part of the bower.json specification, which is different. bower.json files are included in packages you install with bower, not npm. So if I say:

bower install jquery

Then bower.json will be in ./bower_components/jquery directory.
