I presume that the alternative would be for the version scripts to parse package.json instead. I think that Android used to work the same way, but now its version script just reports a hard-coded number (which coho updates).
As long as the package.json files are included in the release artifacts, and aren't just in the npm packages, then I'm +1 on this. Simplify the distribution.
