maintenance resource was a main issue to not follow this way. it was discussed with abieber@ some time ago, and decided to only port if module needs to compile something (native binding for instane, like node-pg). in production, every application I use has an install goo which do all necessary work including local module installation via npm. it's fine. taking fast versioning of some node mudules in account, I'd better concentrate on development, not port maintenance. please, don't touch it :)
