So... this is a lot of node.js packages, and I haven't really seen any discussion of this on the lists. And at least some of these are possibly important for other nodejs packages-- notably "mocha", which I suspect is used in at least some packages to run unit tests (at the very least, several of my nodejs packages use it to run unit tests...).
Indeed... I'd hate to see mocha disappear. That being said, there's a bunch of these other packages that can probably safely be retired -- I pulled in a couple hundred NodeJS packages in my hard-headed attempt to get NodeRED into Fedora for the IoT team a couple of years ago, but got bogged down in dependency nightmares and ultimately gave up. Since then, I've been busy with my job and grad school to really spend a lot of time worrying about NodeJS packages in Fedora, since I'm not a NodeJS developer. That being said, if there are packages like mocha that really need to be maintained to keep the NodeJS ecosystem working in Fedora, I could probably be persuaded to pick up a few more packages.
