Description

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? feature

What is the current behavior? yarn install --flat asks the user which version of a module they would like, if there is a conflict.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version. node v6.8.1 npm v3.10.8 yarn v0.16.1

yarn install --flat is wonderful in that it asks the users which version of a dep they want to install. However, it would be immensely useful for automation environments, to allow for an option to direct yarn to automatically assume the newest version.

Research direction
Investigate the ` flat` resolution logic in `src/package resolver.js` and `src/cli/commands/install.js`. Look for where version conflicts are presented to the user and how to add an automatic default to the newest version. Check the repository's contributing guidelines and note that this is the 1.x line which is frozen; the feature may need to be proposed for Yarn Berry at https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry.
