Hapi later de-supported the library, after releasing version 8.0.0.
It has since been moved to mozilla/hawk and is again released as hawk.
All of the intermediate versions are also relased as hawk.

Mozilla maintains several Hawk implementations in different langauages, so it is likely to stay at Mozilla for some time.
