4. "Squatting" on a package name that you *plan* to use, but aren't
actually using. Sorry, I don't care how great the name is, or how
perfect a fit it is for the thing that someday might happen. If
someone wants to use it today, and you're just taking up space with
an empty tarball, you're going to be evicted.
5. Putting empty packages in the registry. Packages must have SOME
functionality. It can be silly, but it can't be *nothing*. (See
also: squatting.)
6. Doing weird things with the registry, like using it as your own
personal application database or otherwise putting non-packagey
things into it.

If you see bad behavior like this, please report it right away.
