+Type: Documentation-only (supports [`--pending-deprecation`][])
+
+Previously, `index.js` and extension searching lookups would apply to
+`import 'pkg'` main entry point resolution, even when resolving ES modules.
+
+With this deprecation, all ES module main entry point resolutions require
+an explicit [`"exports"` or `"main"` entry][] with the exact file extension.
