Sadly, there are a community of devs who want to rely on libflakey 0.0.1-beta, released an hour ago, and think that waiting for APIs to stabilise & distros to securely package things is unprofessional (!).

Using libflakey (lol!) is not necessarily a bad thing; The proper course would be to pull out what you need, make sure the interface you care about is sane and works well; you can revisit the upstream in the future.

Raw npm-style clone-from-master seems to be prolific, though.
