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.
