I was reading Polymer's 3.0 Preview documentation 
<https://www.polymer-project.org/blog/2017-08-23-hands-on-30-preview> and 
see that they've announced that yarn is a dependency. 

Why? instead of just using NPM 5 
<https://auth0.com/blog/whats-new-in-node8-and-npm5/>, which does a lot of 
the same things yarn does?
In the summit, they have said <https://youtu.be/JH6jEcLxJEI?t=8m20s> that 
they needed a  package manager to:

   1. Manages dependencies
   2. Resolves version conflicts
   3. Supports a flat dependency tree
   4. Has an active community
   

AFAIK, npm already does this in later versions. So why use yarn which is 
unnecessary?
I get that yarn may be the hot dependency manager today but a lot of people 
are fine with just using npm.
