I have long since come to the conclusion that most of the nodejs ecosystem is rotten. I don't even know where to begin. I'm certain this is a mentality issue more than anything.
Greed for authority, power and influence is what is causing that rot.

#12Analytics shouldn't break applications. If anything npm should provide a way to opt into analytics and provide them to all publishers.
Even worse, they’re doing analytics without opt-in, or providing a way to use the package without analytics. This is clearly inacceptable.
Unacceptable

#13`curl -i http://blip.strongloop.com/loopback` returns content from S3. Are we suggesting then they are using S3 bucket analytics to see how many times a package has been downloaded then?

#14Between this and the other article regarding the death of ExpressJS-- is IBM is a good contributor to the JS open source community?
I quite agree with this comment from Reddit:
"I think you nailed it that this is most likely more bureaucracy than malice.
IBM is like government. There's no sense of urgency whatsoever."

All languages have their own idiosyncrasies, not just English. I'm a native speaker of 2 different languages and I find that there is still more to learn about them via small mistakes that I make.

Did you read the GitHub thread on Express? The project is still very much alive, but its internals have been broken out into standalone packages, so the only commits to Express itself are version updates. That issue was created based on a misunderstanding.
