documented as experimental. In addition, Node.js includes external projects as
internal dependencies. These may be replaced or removed at any time, provided

## Executables

The Node.js distribution includes only executables whose names refer to software
that is vendored within the Node.js distribution. For example, Node.js includes
an executable `npm` to run the npm software included within the Node.js
distribution; Node.js does not include a `foo` executable which would download
software named Foo.
