Description
With `beta`, I bumped up minimum Node support to `4.6` because it was an LTS release. However, now active `4.6 LTS` is [ending in April](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS#lts-schedule). And since beta development took a bit longer than expected (IRL, sorry), April isn't very far away.
Poll: **Should we continue to stick to `4.6` or bump the minimum version to `6.9` _before_ April?**
In addition to LTS coverage, with `6.9` we also get:
- default function parameters
- rest parameters
- spread operator
- destructuring declarations
- destructuring assignments
- destructuring parameters
Reaction response:
* 👍 for `6.9`
* 👎 for `4.6`
