Due to the intrinsic nature of npm (e.g. we don't see GitHub enforce such a policy), it's a measure to decrease scarcity of names for package maintainers, and it seems to accomplishes that.
That said I think it's a bit unfair to say "publish it in your own package repository" since npm has a special privileged status in the Node.js Git tree, which is above and beyond mere popularity. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
