> WAPM operates synchronously at the moment, but there is no reason why WAPM should not be able to install dependencies concurrently.

I'm sorry, I didn't word that well. In Fedora, there is a feature called Modularity that enables you to switch between different release streams (for instance, Node.js LTS or current). You can do so with `dnf module install nodejs:11` or `dnf module install nodejs:10`. Since `dnf` is installing into a single global space, though, it isn't possible to install both nodejs:11 and nodejs:10, and the Fedora project recommends containers as a solution here. Could WAPM support this use case, without requiring one to buy into the entire container tooling ecosystem?

Yes! This could enable a declarative OCI image build tool, which could be used to bridge the gap between Wasmer and the Docker/Kubernetes stack.
