@douglasduteil please for the sake of your users, kill this package.

This PR looks more like it's nuking everything rather than "deprecating" the package. The appropriate thing to do is leave a message in the README.md and version lock istanbul to 0.4.4. Deprecating a package doesn't make it completely unusable.

Sure but removing the code doesn't change anything about the npm package, just reduces the ranking in Google

mrparkers commented 8 years ago

Adding a deprecation warning at the top of the README should be more than sufficient for directing users to a better solution. Removing the code provides no benefit and is only going to hurt those who are interesting in learning how this package works (or perhaps used to work).
