​Yikes! From the thread:

QQQ

   1. Be a dev on one of the most critical pieces of on infrastructure of a
   widely used language.
   2. Release new prerelease.
   3. Do not use semantic versioning so it looks like a stable.
   4. Advertise new build in emails and blog posts but don't mention it's a
   prerelease.
   5. The update mechanism updates to next instead of latest for whatever
   reason
   6. It bricks everyone's systems.
   7. Users are reasonably upset.
   8. Insult users for being upset.

It might be time for an expansion of the NPM team and a review of the
current developers on it.

Doesn't increase my confidence in node.js or its security.
