I should have done this long before, but npm should not stay in testing: - `npm install thisorthatmodule` is failing for a growing list of modules - npmjs.org might drop support for this old client at anytime now - it's not supportable (security-wise) and i'd advise against using it I'll use block this bug by the handful of packages depending on npm.
