core-js 2 deprecated

[sam-s4s]

🐞 bug report

Is this a regression?

Yes and no - it's the underlying npm dependencies that have changed to cause this problem, not angular itself.

(problem was not present on the 20th of December, for example)

Description

When creating a new angular package, or doing an npm install, we now receive a warning that core-js 2 is deprecated and we should be using 3.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

ng new
(create a new angular 8 project)

🔥 Exception or Error

npm WARN deprecated core-js@2.6.11: core-js@<3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js@3.

Additional comments:

We might need a new version of angular 8 to fix this problem (8.2.15)

[alfaproject]

Angular 8 doesn't require core-js. If you do then you can update it yourself, if you don't then you can remove it.

Yarn gives a bit more info

warning @angular-devkit/build-angular > istanbul-instrumenter-loader > istanbul-lib-instrument > babel-generator > babel-runtime > core-js@2.6.11: core-js@<3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js@3.

@alfaproject yes, this is from a project that does not have core-js as a dependency. As @internalsystemerror points out, it's part of angular.

Though possible this is more of a cli issue, given the @angular-devkit/build-angular package...
