I have to ask: what point are you trying to make?

Here's a related lwn article describing a similar problem faced by opensuse:
https://lwn.net/Articles/712318/

""Ruby dependency hell has nothing on JavaScript dependency hell," he said.
A "hello world" application based on one JavaScript framework has 759
JavaScript dependencies; this framework is described as "a lightweight
alternative to Angular2". There is no way he is going to package all 759
dependencies for this thing; the current distribution package-management
approach just isn't going to work here."
