- peeters 7y agoI'm confused from that summary why any of the left-pad debacle should be pinned on Kik. Maybe there was something behind the scenes I'm not seeing? From the post mortem NPM gave, this was entirely on Azer for rage quitting NPM (and for NPM for allowing it), fallout be damned. Even if you feel Kik bullied Azer into giving up the "kik" name (even though they made their case to NPM and deferred to them), that would only affect the kik package, not the 270 others Azer delisted.
