What's the equivalent of npm install --workspaces false

[trusktr]

The root of my repo is one workspace (a package I publish on npm), and inside packages/ is packages that it depends on.

To install "normally", without bootstrapping packages/ and without linking, so that it would be as if I do not have any workspaces and will get a node_modules folder without any links, I can currently run this for example:

npm install --workspaces false

yarn workspaces focus --production is not doing the same thing, it fails with a build error due to a devDependency missing, but npm install --workspaces false is doing what I need.

How do we do the same thing with Yarn?

Nvm, npm i --workspaces false is not doing what I wanted. I had deleted packages/ first, and then I was able to install the top level without workspaces, but that's not ideal. I can't install the top level with npm or yarn. Closing this, I think a feature request is needed.
