I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The problem exists independently of whether or not global namespacing is implemented by a package repository. Nike would have just as much authority to remove a "nike" package in a global namespace as it would to remove "bob/nike" (which is to say, almost no authority whatsoever).

I have no dog in the fight over whether or not a global namespace is a good idea, but it's tiresome to see irrelevant arguments being trotted out against global namespacing.

Jesus Christ, just get on with times.

Even Node has overtaken Rust.
