What we need is a JS developer to take down an important package from NPM in protest, thus breaking the Internet again.

If you want to unpublish a package after 72 hours have passed, contact npm Support. For more information about why we don’t allow users to unpublish packages after 72 hours, see our unpublish policy.

That’s… plainly wrong. `npm unpublish --force your-package` would really just unpublish your package.
