Good to know. From what I understand, the next LTS with Node 6 won't happen for
at least another 8 months. Also 5.x should be stable in the sense that it won't
be getting breaking V8 changes, that will come with 6.x. All that to say, I
think LTS and 5.x should be relatively pain-free upgrades for the next few
months.
