Fixes #1, Fixes #2In #17670 we bumped the TODO comment to do this from Babel 8 to Babel 9, however I really think there is no good reason to keep defaulting to CommonJS nowdays.
Note that for
@babel/register,@babel/node, and@babel/cli's REPL we still mark through the caller that ESM is not supported, as those packages don't support it yet (and we can probably add support for it during the Babel 8 release timeline).I noticed this while writing the Babel 8.0.0 release blog post.
