title: Is there a reason for installing the NPM module locally?
body: <p>I was looking at my package.json for a project I've been working on for the past year and I saw that npm itself was in that json file.</p>
  
  <p>I want to keep the number of packages to a minimum, but there is a too much code to trace through line by line and see if it is ever used.</p>
  
  <p>Im leaning towards removing it, but I want to make sure that removing it wont break the project. </p>
  
  <p>Can you think of a valid local use of npm?</p>
