Yes.

We probably need to make sure we're talking about the same things because
some things are very important to have differentiation, and others not
(specifically talking about application development).  For example, I
doesn't matter to me whether the BRMS PTFs are differentiated.  But it
matters big time that I can have multiple versions of Node.js/Ruby/Python
on my system.  Tools like rvm/nvm** were developed for this exact purpose.

**Ruby Version Manager: http://rvm.io, Node Version Manager:
https://github.com/creationix/nvm

I need to have both the old and new versions active at the same time so I
can thoroughly test the upgrade/fixes.  Again, this is specific for
application development things.
