> What happened when the npm owner decided to remove some packages?

They can’t, at least not older packages, I believe they need to contact NPM if they wish to unpublish packages. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/unpublish

I mean when Registry owner (i.e joyent or node org) removes your package for various reasons. Not to mention that private packages are a pain(i.e you need to spin up your own registry)
