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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current flat logic in yarn's source code to identify where user interaction occurs. Add a new flag (e.g., prefer newest) that automatically selects the highest version.
