Glad to hear it's all so simple. So you'll have no problem setting it up and finding thousands of volunteers to help, right?

Yes, I'm perfectly fine with setting up and recruiting volunteers for important software initiatives and no, I'm not going to do that for npm before they fix the mess they themselves created, there are more productive ways to get the job done without using npm. It's good that we have choices.

What I advised doesn't require "thousands of volunteers", you can start with one but that's not going to be me because you might be right - what Linux bistros are doing might be impossible in the npm community given the widespread 'do-first-think-later' attitude. As I said, it's good we have other choices.
