IBM does that (at least with Node, Python, and Java) with separate

options

on the Licensed Program. Maybe not granular enough though?

Correct, not granular enough. For example, IBM delivered Node.js

versions

0.12.9, 0.12.10, ... 0.12.13 and each upgrade wiped out the previous.

What

I do to work around this is tar up each version and extract it into a
different area of the IFS.

Aaron, none of the mainstream Linux distros let you do things like this.
They might have multiple packages for major versions to be installed
side-by-side (eg. Python 2 and Python 3, Ruby 1.9 and 2.0, ...). The only
Linux distros that I know of that let you do things like this are
GoboLinux, Guix, and NixOS.

Are bugfix versions of Node.js that unstable/unpredictable that you have
to really have to test this stuff?
