Thanks for feedback. I don't have metrics but a lot of packages depend on others. Security issues occur and then if the maintainer doesn't update the dependency it's rotten. This is why I think this metric is important. I'm not so much bothered about how active the project is - although I do think that's important, but surely if it's not had any activity in 6 months you'd agree it might not be the best idea to use? My suggest doesn't involve hiding anything automatically. But I would like to opt-in to filter out these things. (point 3). NPM does display the last activity: https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=debug |
