It is still there because someone if (hopefully) benificently name squatting there with the same package. It went away and broke things. The person who owns jteeuwen is not Jim (the original owner), and has put back the go-bindata repo to avoid a breakage. It could be far worse. On Mon, 2018-08-13

IMHO, the npm node packaging is just a mess -- I have several similar projects, and each has to pull in a HUGE pile of almost-identical dependencies, and not able to reuse between them at all. Whatever happening over there will not astonish me at all, including the infamous npm_left_pad_chaos
