I can see 2 possibilities,

1. Someone make yarn 1.x build with babel 7
2. Yarn 2.x gets a stable release and it is updated

I'm not sure if either of it will happen in time for bullseye. I tried my best with option 1, but I'm not a js programmer to unblock it. I asked a few people for help, but was not successful in that attempt.
