#26 discusses supporting several types of aliases. That discussion has been going on for a long time. It seems the main complications revolve around how to deal with lts.

For those of us who don't care about lts and just want latest so that we can test that our work works on latest Node automatically, could we please get support for latest first and let #26 focus on the subtleties of lts and how to implement that? It seems like these two aliases do not need to be grouped into a single feature release, in fact, it looks, like implementing them separately would simplify things and potentially make it possible to provide latest soon.
