Current Behavior

{
  "devDependencies": { "dtrace-provider": "0.8.8" },
  "allowScripts": { "dtrace-provider": true }
}

2. Run npm prune
3. The following output is displayed:

npm warn allow-scripts 1 package has install scripts not yet covered by allowScripts:
npm warn allow-scripts   dtrace-provider@0.8.8 (install: node-gyp rebuild)
