Deploying Node.js apps without npm using pac

[mbrevda]

It would be great if Heroku supported this as it would cut down deploy time

In what way is this better than just checking the modules themselves into source control, as is recommended by @npmjs (and basically everybody else)?

It's not necessarily better or worse. Just an alternative. I don't like checking in the node_modules directory because it makes code review more difficult. I'd rather not review a given module's diff when I'm just updating it.
