Ships with Node.

I don't think that's very compelling, versioning-wise (it's still independently versioned). Futhermore, the official node docker images come with yarn pre-installed, and there appears to be no way to bundle in a specific npm version in source control, like you can with `yarn policies set-version` (v1). That has worked wonders for us. Before yarn we used to have problems with developers using different versions of npm on their machines/build agents, and .nvmrc/"engines" doesn't help you there other than being an "error gate". The yarn executable acting like a shim delegating to the checked-in version is brilliant for versioning (especially CI).
