[jira] [Commented] (CB-4871) CLI's node_modules take up almost 50 meg!

["Braden Shepherdson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4871?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13771917#comment-13771917 ] 

Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-4871:
----------------------------------------

And? The price of that storage is so low that I've already greatly exceeded the total by reading this and responding.

I think a big part of the problem is duplication: CLI and Plugman both contain npm, I believe, for example. But that's the nature of node modules, to duplicate rather than suffer the Dreaded Diamond Dependency Problem, which I think is a win.
