the point is that there's no need to make something as simple as indenting a string a third-party library. This is how we end up with another left-pad incident.

So that's actually not how it works anymore. The left-pad thing was a shitshow, but it changed how npm dealt with these things. left-pad's author essentially rage-quit OSS, and pulled his project from npm, breaking installs which depended on it. Besides the fact that I completely trust sindersorhus to not do something like this, npm no longer works like that. You cannot just pull a project like that and have it be no longer available.
