This is probably an issue with one of our dependencies. Since it's just a warning and not a failing error, it's not extremely high priority for us, but if someone wants to investigate and shed some light on where the warning is originating, that'd be welcome.

So please use npm shrinkwrap to orevent this

Unfortunately, this bug could just as easily be caused by a library not having been updated for a new version of Node yet, so npm shrinkwrap would do nothing in that case - and worse, even prevent an update to fix the issue once a patch had been released.

@FDiskas how can I reproduce this? What version of node do you use?
