I&#x27;m not sure what you&#x27;re trying to say. The problem exists independently of whether or not global namespacing is implemented by a package repository. Nike would have just as much authority to remove a &quot;nike&quot; package in a global namespace as it would to remove &quot;bob&#x2F;nike&quot; (which is to say, almost no authority whatsoever).<p>I have no dog in the fight over whether or not a global namespace is a good idea, but it&#x27;s tiresome to see irrelevant arguments being trotted out against global namespacing.
