"Most" people don't know of either.

Kik is a messaging app, kik is a node module. Was someone going to call up the app store and install a node module? Was someone potentially going to install a messaging app into their node project?

I think there are a lot of slippery slopes here.

Well, if Kik - the company - really intends to release a node module that would be enough to confuse some people.
That's the same absolutely absurd argument that npm made.

Who actually installs a module without actually seeing what it does first?
