I'm not too familiar with the drama involved, but apparently some folks are changing uglify-es to either terser or babel-minify.

The claims on uglify-es state that it's unmaintained among a few other bad things, and that it contains some serious bugs, known to create tricky situations especially with React.

Like I said, I don't have any in-depth knowledge about the situation and this is just a heads-up about something I noticed by chance.

Thanks to @arrgh for suggesting this replacement: #10042

This may help with lots of issues, most recently #10044 but also #10034,
fall back to `Babel.minify` when `uglify-es` (now `terser`) fails, there
should be fewer problems with `Babel.minify` (parse errors, performance,
memory usage) if `terser` succeeds more often.

Done! To try out the new minifier, run meteor update --release 1.7.1-beta.14 or create a new app with meteor create --release 1.7.1-beta.14 your-new-app.
