Also there’s more of a habit to release to the pre release channel for some time first.
I honestly think a forced time spent in pre release (with some emergency break glass where community leaders manually review critical hotfixes) could mitigate 99% of the issues here. Linux packages have been around for ever and have fewer incidents mainly because of the long dev->release channel cooking time.
Forced time in pre-release sounds like a really good idea.
Can somebody drive this up the chain to people who administer npm?
