As Yehuda pointed out, such a thing won't happen because Yarn was launched as a community project from the beginning, and a lot of members contribute to both, so even if Facebook decided something sketchy, the community would either stop it from happening or continue with a forked version.
- BinaryIdiot 10y ago> the community would either stop it from happening or continue with a forked version Would they, though? If Yarn turns out to be the better tool that doesn't change the way they work (beyond solving some pain points) then would they even care? Facebook could even offload the hosting to some open source group like Apache. It's purely anecdotal but a lot of people I have worked with would love to see an alternative to npm. It's just slow and the features it gives to authors is pretty limited (I want better metrics, please!). I'm not even sure I would call it sketchy, it would just simply be phasing out something deprecated (I'm not talking about a swift take over more like a slowly-boiling-the-frog-in-the-water takeover). It's only my opinion and if Facebook really doesn't want that to happen then I guess it won't but it's pretty easy to imagine it, IMO.
