Currently, npm uses the deprecated crypto.pseudoRandomBytes API through its unique-slug dependency.

There is already a PR to fix it: npm/unique-slug#6

Given that the only reason for deprecating seems to be “reducing undocumented API surface”, we should also definitely consider reverting the deprecation. Aliases are cheap and come with very little maintenance overhead.

Aliases are very cheap to maintain, so an unconditional runtime
deprecation that affects existing ecosystem code is not
a good idea. This commit turns the runtime deprecation into
a `--pending-deprecation` one.

Fixes: nodejs#23013

I contacted npm via twitter, their response was

I'm glad you asked about this. We can't guarantee that repo will be looked at in the near future.

So I'm in favor of downgrading the deprecation as well.
