This leads to serious build issues for us. Is there any plan to remove this dependency? When is the target for that?

Is it safe to remove the dependency on npm manually from cordova-lib when using cordova 7.0.1?

//Edit: So as a workaround I did the following: clone the cordova-lib@7.0.1 project and remove everything in it to then move the contents of the cordova-lib folder to the top folder (Seems like this won't be necessary anymore for 7.0.2+, thank god) then I simply removed the npm dependency from the package.json. Now you can add this modified cordova-lib to your project's package.json (before the cordova depdendency) and it will install your modified version. This will break cordova as it depends on a locally installed npm. So after you installed everything with npm run 'npm link npm' in your project folder to link your global npm into the local packages. cordova will then work fine with your globally installed npm.
I had no problems with this but I am not sure if this could subtly break stuff.

> I'm using NPM 3.x (3.3.2) and cordova-create is installing NPM 2.x in my node modules folder.
> There should be a way around this, I rather not have a copy of NPM (especially an older copy) in my node_modules.
> NPM 3.x is stable, included in node 5.
