I certainly don’t advise that. I have a [substantial number of “developer” packages in my default environment](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/code-block-only-for-packagecompiler-and-not-for-revise/99870/5); project-specific packages (i.e., things that do certain computations, etc) go in the project.
