Hello,

I'm working on an ESLint plugin with some custom rules.  I've split the 
more complicated logic into smaller pieces and I intend to publish these 
pieces as standalone npm modules.  The plugin's package.json will list 
these modules as dependencies.  I'm wondering, can I use the custom rules 
from the plugin to lint the dependency modules?  If the dependency modules 
list the plugin as a devDependency, then the plugin will have a circular 
dependency on itself.  It also feels like a chicken/egg problem.  If these 
modules mutually depend on each other, when I try to publish the first 
module will npm allow it to have a dependency that isn't published yet?

Has this come up before?  I looked at some popular plugins on GitHub.  They 
usually lint themselves but without enabling any custom rules so there are 
no circular dependencies.

Thanks,
Steven
