+This library is no longer needed, as `fetch` is available everywhere. 
+
+To instrument `fetch` with the test waiting system, checkout [`waitForFetch`](https://github.com/emberjs/ember-test-waiters/blob/master/addon/src/wait-for-fetch.ts)
+
+See [RFC#1065](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/1065/) for more information.
