So this reads to me that they're simply not going to update the ability to use GIT. Right now you can point to a repo or specific branch / tag but it doesn't read any of the versioning like bower does, so it can't handle versioning properly. If they updated the use of GIT you could completely eliminate the need for this feature.
That kinda rubs me the wrong way; it feels like they're trying to force this monetization as they've had plenty of us from the community wanting better GIT support for this very reason.
Honestly npm isn't a very complex piece of software, you could even replace it with bower if you want git with versions. I wonder if any competitors are going to spring up who can simply iterate faster. I won't even get started on their login system, ugh.
