I'm planning to continue porting forward to subsequent versions of SpiderMonkey until we have ES6 modules. (They seem to be nearly finished.) I wouldn't spend time rewriting the module system only to have it replaced by ES6 modules later on...

this basically means for the next 5 years GJS won't be able to interact with modules published to npm

I wouldn't conclude that, I think there are ways to make things a bit more interoperable until then.
