Why is the test suite disabled?  A comment (explaining a good reason) is
needed :-).

A comment explaining why these are removed would help.

Could you please expand a bit on the description?  What features does it
have?  Keep it factual; "The complete solution ..." sounds like
marketing language.

Hi,

Thanks  for reviewing!

This is what many node packages in node-xyz.scm does. I think this is 
because the tests are difficult to bootstrap. The dependency chains for 
the tests
are typically large and circular.

This is also the norm in node-xyz.scm. The excluded dependencies are for 
development and can in many cases be very difficult to bootstrap.

To be able to make progress with packaging node packages it seems to me 
that the general strategy has been  to disable tests and dependencies 
needed for tests. My assumption might be wrong though. Do you still 
think I should add comments?

I agree that this needs to be changed. I blindly copied what the package 
said about itself.

Best regards,

OK, this makes sense, but hard to grasp for a newcomer like me to (gnu
packages node-xyz).  Perhaps it could be explained in a commentary
comment at the top of the module.

OK.  I look forward to a v2.
