deprecated mail-related packages installed via ng new project #10039

@jhbsa

Description

@jhbsa

Versions

Angular CLI: 1.7.3
Node: 8.10.0
OS: win32 x64 (Windows 10 using /Git Bash)
npm: 5.6.0

Repro steps

Simply create a new project with the latest cli
ng new myProject

Observed behavior

The following warnings appear as the project is generated:
npm WARN deprecated nodemailer@2.7.2: All versions below 4.0.1 of Nodemailer are deprecated. See https://nodemailer.com/status/
npm WARN deprecated mailcomposer@4.0.1: This project is unmaintained
npm WARN deprecated socks@1.1.9: If using 2.x branch, please upgrade to at least 2.1.6 to avoid a serious bug with socket data flow and an import issue introduced in 2.1.0
npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8: Use uuid module instead
npm WARN deprecated buildmail@4.0.1: This project is unmaintained
npm WARN deprecated socks@1.1.10: If using 2.x branch, please upgrade to at least 2.1.6 to avoid a serious bug with socket data flow and an import issue introduced in 2.1.0

I confirmed these packages exist in the /node_modules directory of myProject

Desired behavior

I am concerned about the inclusion of depecrated, mail-related packages with a vanilla template install. Previous cli-generated projects (cli version 1.4.7) did not include these packages, I see no universal need for such packages and fear they may be an injection of malicious content.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)
