If the npm registry disappeared. How quickly could it be rebuilt? (Without the cooperation of npm inc). Is anyone still mirroring the registry? The migration away from couchdb and the registry software being closed source would make it difficult.

Wouldn't the yarn registry be able to pick up the slack?

as far as I know yarn's registry is just a proxy for the npm registry – they don't store tarballs themselves

Yarn registry had always been a reverse proxy with CloudFlare. npm switched to CloudFlare though and fucked it up because CloudFlare disallows proxying to themselves. They took control of our registry DNS, which is why we no longer have any usage statistics.
