Not before it became big. Usually projects start out under some random person GitHub page, and only register domain names later on when it gets traction.

- EdwardDiego 5y agoTrue that, and I've seen packages switch group ids at this point, usually at a major version release. But still makes it easier to verify that you're installing the package you intended. And makes it very hard to deliver typo vulns or squat the "good" names.
- GauntletWizard 5y agoAnd that's fine. A 1.0 release existing as both randomiser/jQuery and jQuery/jQuery is fine, and then 2.0 only exists as jQuery/jQuery; so long as your package manager has good tooling for rewriting imports (and usually sed is enough). Making migration to alternative implementations easy should already be a design goal.
