It'd be nice if the OSX iojs installer gave you an option to not clobber existing npm installation (like ./configure --without-npm), especially if you already have a newer version of npm installed.

it does on windows, will have to figure out if we can make the osx installer ask questions!

oh, this turns out to be a bad idea and people should probably be should be strongly advised against using anything but the built-in io.js npm until node-gyp supports io.js, due to npm rebuild not working: #433

Post-convergence, do we want to think about this again?

I don't think so - I'll close this, we can always reopen it if we decide to.
