It's not compatible with Node 6, so we can't upgrade yet.

@nicolo-ribaudo

Node 6? Isn't v6 long-ago EOL'd?

https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/

atm, I have

node -v
v13.1.0

Curious as to why there's a need for dragging along v6 compat?

[nicolo-ribaudo]

We will drop node 6/8 support in Babel 8, but until then we have to maintain it for backwards compatibility.

Closing it in favour of #9981, which also mentioned chokdiar issue.
