I think a lot of it was much ado over nothing, but I agree that if you didn't already mistrust tiny, anemic modules written by single developers in your production code that it was a good lesson.

Exactly :)

A lot of larger companies affected needed a wake up call regardless.

The issue to me isn't the deletion of modules but rather the reassignment of modules. I'm completely ok with deleting modules. I am not ok with taking a name that used to exist and just giving it to someone else. That is the crime here not the deletion of modules. That should be the wake up call.
