I had that discussion with someone before. They were under the impression that the registry is rally permanent while GitHub could go away. Aside from the platform betting, they really thought their 2012 package (and particularly its tests) would be useful in 2052. But who am I to say otherwise.

The recent HN discussion about “that one npm maintainer” confirms please hold onto the most painful ideas.
