I believe this was to work around old versions of the npm cli that didn't clean up so gracefully if a global install got borked, especially if overwriting an existing module, but now we even handle unix signals gracefully other than SIGKILL, so I think this is the right way to go.
The install script will gracefully fail if things don't work. This is especially important for versions of npm that won't work in your current node version. PR-URL: #3748 Credit: @wraithgar Close: #3748 Reviewed-by: @isaacs
