All dep systems w/ fuzzy matches also have .lock things to ensure repeatability. Fuzzy matches on a declarative manifests are just bad.
@brianleroux iow if my lib asks for "latest 1.x of time" and your lib asks for "latest 1.x of time", an app that includes both gets one copy

@brianleroux if both of us picked a specific version that happened to be the latest when we published, dups are inevitable. -
@wycats oh, well, the answer is the same as it is without fuzzy matching. don't do that. -
@brianleroux don't do what? -
@wycats The old I-have-two-versions-of-jQuery because reasons story. Don't do that. Don't depend on crap that does that. -
@brianleroux I'm talking about two libs that depend on a specific version of `time`. One of them returns a Time from a func. -
@brianleroux the problem arises because an app uses both (moment + time zone lib) -
@brianleroux so there is no one person at fault. -
@brianleroux the only possible solution is to disallow ALL modules from returning instances of classes defined in another module. - 8 more replies

agree to disagree. My intent is repeatability not chasing errors.
