Hi Jared, That makes sense to me. Maybe the priority should be trying to keep mocha alive, and eventually figuring out how to update it? The current dependencies, according to repoqery, are as follows: (npm(commander) >= 2.2.0 with npm(commander) < 3) (npm(debug) >= 2.2.0 with npm(debug) < 3) (npm(diff) >= 1.0.8 with npm(diff) < 2) (npm(escape-string-regexp) >= 1.0.2 with npm(escape-string-regexp) < 2) (npm(glob) >= 6.0.3 with npm(glob) < 7) (npm(growl) >= 1.7.0 with npm(growl) < 2) (npm(jade) >= 1.3.1 with npm(jade) < 2) (npm(mkdirp) >= 0.5.0 with npm(mkdirp) < 0.6) /usr/bin/env nodejs(engine) >= 0.8.0 npm(supports-color) I haven't looked further to see what the dependency tree is like for each of these, but commander, debug, diff, glob, and growl are all currently orphaned.
