Oh... Awesome. TIL, I guess.
Thanks for the tip. I wish my comment wasn't locked in already so I could correct the misinformation.
Personally I'll stick with RPM for all my JS packaging needs.

Why?
It doesn't cover any of the functionality that JSPM provides and publishing modules as RPM only makes them available to (at most) 1%-2% of users.
JSPM is written in Node and available via NPM. So... it works on pretty much anything out of the box.
What do you use to polyfill the browser to support RPM? :)
It works a lot like NPM but is specifically intended for use with front-end modules.
Features:
- uses System.js (a polyfill for the future ES6-module-loader spec
- supports CommonJS, AMD, and UMD formats
- has plugins for importing other types (ex css)
- support Typescript/Traceur/Babel out of the box
- uses a flat dependency structure (ie like NPM v3)
- can generate bundles and self-executing bundles (incl tree shaking and minify)
- tracks specific versions of dependencies
Unlike NPM, module installation doesn't depend on packages published to a central registry. It can install versioned modules directly from GitHub and NPM. The registry it uses is nothing but GitHub repo with module-to-repo mappings and compatibility shims.
Here's the link: http://jspm.io/
Lodash is already included in the registry: http://kasperlewau.github.io/registry/#/?q=lodash
