Neal, Dan,
Thanks both, I think we have a way forward. I'll start the dialog upstream.
@Neal - would it be possible to update the Fedora wiki regarding bundling
Nodejs deps? Not sure if it needs to be:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bundled_Libraries?rd=Packaging:Bundled_Lib...
or
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Node.js
I'm unable to do so because I get the error message: "The action you have
requested is limited to users in the group: Packaging."

variety of nodejs dependencies amongst other things, e.g. Vega[2] has a
fairly rapid release schedule.

Bundling Nodejs dependencies is perfectly fine. Most of us do that
now. Gem and C/C++ dependencies should not be bundled, though.
