While I agree that giving people a chance to disable install scripts in order to audit them before / after running is a good idea, I also think it's somewhat optimistic of you to think that this would actually help.

There's plenty of npm packages that release updates weekly. I may not update them every time (I tend to wait until I see a need), but the rate of update is high enough that most people would just blindly click through after the fiftieth time they installed that package.
