Which "it" are you talking about removing from testing?

This bugreport is about node-inwasm use of a specific emscripten option,
so is not solved by removing emscripten from testing, and it seems
node-inwasm has reverse dependencies nor reverse build-dependencies.

I won't discuss state of emscripten generally in this bug, out of fear
the information will be missed and the same arguments need repeating.
I'll just note that in my opinion as effective previous maintainer,
bug#1052003 is the main challenge for emscripten maintenance, not the
Node.js mechanisms which are familiar to the JavaScript team.
