That is one way to do it. One disadvantage, though, is having to manually keep dev and peer in sync. The advantage is not needing another library to install peers. So it's a matter of which trade-off you prefer. Myself, I'm more worried about the error-prone nature of manually duplicating two lists in my package.json so I'm standardizing on just going and using install peers. But I also understand why someone would want to avoid yet another library.
