I’d like to know this, as well.  One of the guarantees made by the Maven 
central repository is that artifacts (packages) can check in, but they can 
never check out.  I frankly don’t think NPM provides this type of assurance, 
but it should.  Otherwise the only way an organization can trust packages is to 
run their own repository.
