Is this an actual problem? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm willing to bet 99% of all npm packages never get downloaded. Shitty modules can live there with their 0 downloads in the last day as far as I'm concerned.<p>Regarding this bit: <i>"Remember Google’s Polymer? Angular 1? Express? Perhaps the creators of these kinds of tester projects which get abandoned if they don’t pan out should be more transparent about their intentions."</i><p>Angular 1 and Express did not pan out? Not only do I remember them, I maintain half a dozen enterprise applications that use them. Is he actually mentioning Express as an example of a failed module that should not have been published?
