Every byte counts for popular packages like this one.

What is this for? Why do people care about size of NPM packages? (honest questions)

What: It's for Yeoman (through grunt-contrib-jshint) where we're trying to reduce the size (in bytes) of our dependency tree. But I don't see why you shouldn't do it regardless. No point in shipping useless files.

Why: People commit dependencies for deployable projects (best practice in Node). Also bandwidth, though negligible in this case.
