This is absolutely not true, and I'm tired of seeing this. is-odd, alongside a bunch of other microdependencies are almost all the work of one person, who made as many micropackages as possible and then PRd them into other more popular libraries. There are not 6 million people directly downloading `is-odd` a day. At all. When this person could make one library to do something (like an ANSI-Colouring package), they would fractalise it into as many dependencies as possible, because that boosts their download count on NPM. I should note that this is just one person who has managed to nestle their way into some larger projects. I apologise for the spam, but this point really needs hammering home: https://github.com/jonschlinkert/ansi-black https://github.com/jonschlinkert/ansi-reset https://github.com/jonschlinkert/ansi-bold https://github.co

For what it's worth, this is also all the work of one person who spammed NPM with micropackages to boost his download counts. This meme attacking `npm` for nonsense like `is-odd` is quite literally the result of one person resume boosting. For every one thing, he broke it down into as many possible packages as possible, and all of his packages depend on 20 more of his packages. It's like a fractal of resume boosting. https://github.com/jonschlinkert/info-symbol https://github.com/jonschlinkert/success-symbol https://github.com/jonschlinkert/warning-symbol https://github.com/jonschlinkert/error-symbol My personal favourite is making every single ansi colour into a separate package, and then making `ansi-colors` which depends on all of them, and all of these packages are just a single function call with a provided number. It's honestly insa
