Clickbait title on HN? He said it's one of the first, not the very first one. Also just say "request". Anyone interested in an old npm package being deprecated

  On top of this it's not being deprecated, although it seems they considered that option. It's just going into maintenance mode, which makes sense for a library which is essentially done (and why wouldn't it be, if it's been around for 10 years?).

  Ironically, I found the title to have the opposite effect; I read that "Node's oldest NPM package is being deprecated", and didn't think much of it; I imagine the oldest package in a repo is often just some kind of test package or some boring utility which isn't relevant anymore. It was first after clicking and reading that it's talking about requests that I thought, "oh, that's actually a kind of big deal".

  We've reverted the title from “Node's oldest NPM package is being deprecated”.
