Hi Luke,
Most of the time, it's a security issue (there are a LOT of updates lately
on rails...), but it can also be an implementation of a deprecated API
(github API V2 for instance).
Red ("update needed") means a dependency declared in package.json must not
be used.
I will read this mailing list daily to check if some issues are raised on
some packages, and we're also following other sources. So far, we don't
have any version marked as red for npm packages, please ping me
(@gemnasiumapp) if you think one package should be tagged.
Thanks!
