The "node" package uses /usr/sbin/node.  (It also occupies
/usr/share/man/man1/node so even if it were acceptable to have two "node"s in
$PATH one would be without a man page.)

I really wish this were not so, because identifying and sedding the appropriate
files in every node package really isn't fun.

The correct incantation of this will be "yum install npm".  I'm working on
packaging its dependencies as we speak.  :-)
