Unpublish this package on NPM in favor of more recent package with same name?

Created by: bra1n

Hi,

I discovered by accident that you're still publishing this package to npm, even though it hasn't been updated in 3 years and there is a vastly more popular / recent module out there that uses the same name - but has to rely on a "node-" prefix for NPM. Since it looks like your project is basically dead, it would be nice to unpublish it on NPM so that more popular and better maintained modules might use shorter names that won't cause any confusion for the users. The package I'm talking about is https://github.com/thomseddon/node-oauth2-server and I bet that I'm not the first one to type npm install oauth2-server only to discover, that what I've downloaded is not what I wanted. Your package would still be available for anyone that wants to use it - they'd just have to switch to the Git-notation for their package.json. Would be nice if you'd consider it.

Thanks!
