The staleness comes from the developers, not the reporters.

was this ever fixed ? or is there a temporary solution to this ?

[nicolasnoble]

@jkanche: there's a pull request I made for it that was never merged in: #5199.

Temporary solution might simply be to apply it as a local patch.

Thank you! I noticed the pull request after i made the comment earlier. It works now. I hope this gets into the release!
