Thanks for the fix, I have uploaded it.

I have filed removal request for 
node-babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy. I think we can keep 
node-knockout-transformations unless there is an rc bug or upstream is 
dead since getting it back to archive if required for other packages is 
going to be a long process (js packages take much longer time in NEW 
than other languages, except uploads by some developers).
