Ran the

google-cloudis deprecated on npm. What do we want it to say?- Then why do we have that as the docs on the main page ? E.g. if I click into reading the docs, I'm brought to those.... I thought this ticket said we weren't going to deprecate ... Did I misread?
Yeah, the package is deprecated, but @lukesneeringer says we still want to make new releases of it. I would prefer we stop making releases, since we are discouraging its use. But as it stands now,
require('google-cloud')is still an accurate way to use the module, if you are looking for the all-in-one package.Our last release of
google-cloudwas 3 months ago. We've shut down the gh-pages docs site, so I don't believe we are advertisingnpm install google-cloudanywhere anymore.- added a commit that references this issue
