Possibly not soon, at least from a technical perspective, but I could definitely see a PR fiasco (security, bias, etc.) causing a loss of confidence in its stewardship.

And I don't think it'd be that big of a disruption if it were to happen; for the hypothetical case of Facebook+Yarn, they're already proxying to NPM, so they could easily continue to do so while also accepting packages that are Yarn-only.
