Gulp hasn't been updated in almost 3 years, so most likely has a number of outdated & deprecated packages. If these errors annoy you, are a deal-breaker, or you don't want to see security vulnerabilities, then the best thing to do is not use Gulp & find a replacement. I'm going through the same process here at the moment too. :(
