contrib route can be useful as a prototype package when there is a lot
of dependencies to be packaged or has circular dependencies. I had
uploaded babel to contrib because it needed babylon and babylon needed
rollup. Once I figured babylon can be built with babel and rollup was
not required, I uploaded both babylon and babel together to main. If all
dependencies are already in main, it can be uploaded to main, even
though it depends on itself (The requirement is, it should be buildable
in main and first upload is always binary included).
