 dependencies behaves differently than npm.

 > The above issue is not currently of concern, though if we were to have
 to "pin" an NPM module to a specific semantic version it would become a
 concern.

 This appears to been resolved overnight

 > @netweb as a first step that doesn't impose a commitment or requirement
 to use `yarn`, what do you think about committing `yarn.lock` soon?  In
 addition to allowing those of us already using `yarn` to have a clean
 source tree, this will allow us to get more testing of potential
 incompatibilities.

 As a workaround  running `yarn install --no-lockfile` will use Yarn to
 install the npm modules without generating a `yarn.lock` file, it's not
 quite as fast as installing with a `yarn.lock` file being generated, but
 still faster than `npm install`
