- onei 7y agoI never actually read the whole story behind this. To me, it looks like the original author of leftpad was in the right - radically changing a package can break someone's build. Maybe he went a bit too far with his next action, but if NPM don't care about its end-users enough to ensure packages remain relatively stable (within the limited control they have), why should an individual contributor?
