This is a spam filter, so failing closed seems reasonable. (Failing open is also reasonable too.)

- testplzignore 8y agoThere are lots of potential security issues with npm (compromised accounts, spam packages, etc). I think failing closed is the right thing to do for them. It's a temporary annoyance and loss of productivity for a day - a good time to put your feet up and relax. Failing open could lead to a costly security breach that affects many people, and could lead to npm's demise.
