[DISCUSS] Dropping support for Node 8

[Norman Breau <no...@normanbreau.com>]

Just starting a thread here to whether or not we should drop support for 
Node 8 at the same time of dropping Node 6 support.
The original thought for this I believe is to avoid having to have 2 
major version bumps as Node 8 EOL is in December 2019, only a few months 
away.

Personally I don't see why we should keep support something that is in 
maintenance mode and is coming to the end of life soon, so I think 
dropping Node 8 is a good idea.

+1 for dropping Node.js 8 at the same time

I would say we should not spend our limited resources on supporting old
versions of Node.js or other tooling.

My apologies, I did do a search to see if there was a discussion in the 
mailing list but found nothing. I only realized that the search by 
default only looks back 1 month.
I'll forward the rejection then to the ticket that prompted me to start 
this discussion.

To expire this discussion thread, I'll link back to the original thread

This was discussed already and I think everybody agreed to drop it.

Some people agreed, but said we should wait until December.

I've checked telemetry and node 8 is ~18% of users, but going down.
