.nvmrc within package

Just wondering what benefit .nvmrc file is within the npm package?
I can understand you want it in your repo, but does it need to be in npm?

There's no real benefit, but the size is effectively zero, so there's literally zero cost to having it included. The size of an installed package is largely irrelevant.

If it's irrelevant, why is it there in the first place?

It's there because it's needed in dev - it's just not used by consumers.
