I don't think it's fair to blame them for breaking yarn. The way yarn setup their "mirror" url and the way Cloudflare handles account security conflicted and broke down yarn. I really don't see how any team could have seen that coming, or how they should be responsible for people making creative use of their infrastructure.

Everything else is legit though.

Well, they could have though, "Will this large infrastructure change affect any of the tools which depend on our infrastructure?", set up a small test system using cloudflare, and then test a few tools (like Yarn) against the new system.
