As Michael says, I think we can mostly leave Debs out, at least for now. > Node/NPM Packages ...

If we go for option 2 below, then vendoring an npm install at build time (as Michael said, we do this for Debian) feels like a better option.

Vendoring hasn't (to my knowledge) caused many issues for Debian users (Michael?), and having consistent build processes makes it easier for anyone to support users on different OSs. That said, I've not really been involved with the RPMs, so I'm unsure if this causes a bigger headache for Yum users than Apt users. I'm also unsure of the work required to create an SCL, but if it's non-trivial then I'd be looking to CentOS to collaborate on a Rails SCL for everyone to use - for just ourselves, then vendoring seems easier.
