I interpreted the parent to mean that it might not be fair to assume existing package managers have done a _great_ job at downloading and verifying, especially verifying, resources from the network. There are businesses that exist attempting to solve this problem like socket.io. Safely installing the correct dependencies for a project is still not a guarantee from any of the major package managers.
