What about Fedora ostree variants?
The last time I asked about alternatives, I got an answer that it is a
completely NO GO for immutable Fedora releases.
That's one of the reasons why I'd prefer us to use a package to do it.
Each nodejs package could have a subpackage
nodejs<vermajor>-unversioned-command, which has the following stanzas:
Provides: nodejs-unversioned-command
Conflicts: nodejs-unversioned-command
And the default nodejs would have a "Requires:
nodejs-unversioned-command" with a Suggests on the versioned package.
