Not putting the RCs into npm is a pain. I understand the desire is not to push potentially breaking changes to npm users, but this is exactly the problem distribution tags are intended to solve.

By default, npm packages use the "latest" tag. By publishing under a different tag, such as "rc", you can allow users to install and depend on these packages, while protecting users who only want stable releases.

@ThomasBurleson Why? Closing this issue without even providing an explanation is pretty rude.

I'm with @jonrimmer here. Semver takes care of stability issues. Just publish it with the correct prerelease version and people won't get the version unless they explicitly request it.

I would also find this useful.

With @jonrimmer here, I understand y'all are busy but closing w/o an explanation as to why the RCs aren't on npm when a good portion of folks use it for front-end package management is pretty cold.

...okay my comment was kind of poor timing. Grats on 1.0!
