You're being downvoted because that is mean-spirited, but the reason we needed these packages is to find out what the right size of package is. We now have a lower bound.

I'm not sure what's mean-spirited about the simple statement that the size/complexity of the npm-eco-system arises only from personal/corporate business-decisions.

But thanks for telling me anyways ;)

Business decisions and marketing are not the only reasons people write open source software and you would do well to remember it.
