v2.15.11

On we go with our monthly release cadence! This week is pretty much all dependency updates and some documentation changes, as can be expected by now.

Note that npm@4 will almost certainly be released next month! It's not final what we'll end up doing as far as LTS support goes, but the current thinking is that, considering how small and resource-constrained our team is, support for npm@2 will be reduced to essentially maintenance, so we can better focus on npm@3 as the new LTS version (which will go into node@6), and npm@4 as our next main development version.
