Support for conflicting dependencies in npm is an amazingly great feature because once a piece of software works you can update little pieces of your application without worrying about whether upgrading a dependency will break some sub-dependency somewhere. If your dependency graph has upwards of 50 nodes in it as some of mine do, this is a very big deal.
