I have no idea about how frequently upstream will release a new version.. I think 1-2 updates per year as you said. Anyway I still prefer manage modules separately, I don't see any reason to make a "common" package.. And common to what? Node.js?? Express framework (since these are all dependencies for it)? It makes no sense -at least- to me.
