nodejs-ws - should I change it to a noarch

Hi All,
I was going through, updating my nodejs package for rawhide (f22) when I
found the nodejs-ws went from binary to pure javascript with version 0.7.1.

So, my question is this.  Do I continue to leave it as an arch, so I
don't break thing, so should I go to noarch.

Switching from an arch to a noarch has bitten me in the past when people
do updates.  I don't know if that is still the case.

What are people's thoughts.  Should I switch it to a noarch?
I'm not planning on backporting this to older distributions if that
matters in the decision.

Thanks
Troy Dawson

p.s. Side note - This update also requires nodejs-ultron, if anyone
wants to do a review request.

p.p.s. If there is already a fedora page explaining arch to noarch
policies, that would be great.  Feel free to point me to it.
