FWIW, is-arrayish is primarily an internal dependency. The author (Qix) depends on it for the packages that actually get used, liked color and error-ex.

But it's all one author.

It might be an internal dependency for this author, but package.json is only for direct dependencies, right? github shows is-arrayish is a direct dependency of thousands of repos: https://github.com/search?q=%22is-arrayish%22+path%253Apacka...

		Yes. And npm shows 1500 direct dependent packages. [1] Vast majority are nothing. No stars, no downloads. (IDK why. What I do know is that if you crack open the node_modules for any real project, is-arrayish will be there only because of one of the Qix packages.)

They should ban Qix.
