Nah. Facebook’s Yarn works as a client to the NPM registry with a different take on _how_ to obtain those packages. This is a WHOLE different registry that’s now also using the NPM registry as a place to fetch them from.

It started as a CNAME, then was a cloudflare proxy for a while. Then npm switched to cloudflare and now its an alias. As a result they actually have the same IPs.pic.twitter.com/ifAwQJNjnG

It was never a CNAME, always a CF proxy until npm inc took it over. CF donated a business plan so we could change the Host header, otherwise it wouldn’t work.
