==================================================================================
This was done in https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/commit/4d2969992bb55a05f26d93b540bb8c7a06a0bf82 to work around an issue with an old version of npm that wasn't able to successfully verify the SSL cert of the NPM registry.

Also https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/issues/1831 shows some feedback from one of our contributors.
