As a practical matter, the npm ecosystem today relies on duplication, and no new client that made the "highlander rule" (there can be only one) mandatory could succeed.

Yarn does offer a `--flat` option that enforces the highlander rule, and I'm hopeful that the existence of this option will nudge the ecosystem towards an appreciation for fewer semver-major bumps and more ecosystem-wide effort to enable whole apps to work with `--flat` mode.

Plz send halp!
