janpio commented on issue #79: Add Node 12 & Drop Node 6 Support URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/79#issuecomment-465543935 Some data from telemtry.cordova.io to enable us to make an informed decision: ### New users: Node Major Version | New Users | -- | -- | -- 12 | 8 | 0,01% 11 | 7491 | 9,76% 10 | 28488 | 37,11% 9 | 1760 | 2,29% 8 | 24547 | 31,97% 7 | 1003 | 1,31% 6 | 5800 | 7,56% 5 | 146 | 0,19% 4 | 7509 | 9,78% 0 | 18 | 0,02% | 76770 | 100% Users with node <8: 18,86% ### All users: Node Major Version | Users | -- | -- | -- 12 | 8 | 0,00% 11 | 16061 | 9,33% 10 | 59900 | 34,81% 9 | 5250 | 3,05% 8 | 62589 | 36,37% 7 | 2194 | 1,27% 6 | 13085 | 7,60% 5 | 333 | 0,19% 4 | 12607 | 7,33% 0 | 59 | 0,03% | 172086 | 100% Users with node <8: 16,43% ### Context I included node 7 here in the calculations which node version to drop, as it was EOL on 2017-06-30 already. All data from the last 30 days, the absolute numbers don't really have a specific meaning, as well as "Users" is undefined. The relative data is the important bit. --- The amount of users to be "left behind" would be similar to what we did/do with Cordova CLI 9, where we also remove ~8-10% of current and new user's node version. So it would definitely hit a lot of people, but as this is based on official EOL and end of maintenance, this should be a positive thing for them.
