That’s an argument against making any change to the packaging system ever. “It might break something somewhere” isn’t an argument, it’s a paralysis against change. Improving the edge locality of delivery of npm packages could speed up npm installs. But speeding up npm installs might cause the CI system which is reliant on it for concurrency issues to have a race condition. Does that mean that npm can’t ever make it faster either?

It is an argument. An age old argument: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
