npm allows for installation of specific versions. So even if a dev publishes a new version that breaks you can select a previous version known to work. A good dev shouldn’t be updating willy-nilly to the latest version just because it’s the latest. They ought to spec a particular version and update after testing.

Doesn't npm allow a dev to replace or redact already released versions?
