This removes Node 6 from the test because of dependency issues.

which usesbaseline-browser-mapping
. The maintainer ofbaseline-browser-mapping
has indicated in web-platform-dx/baseline-browser-mapping#103 (comment) that Node 8 is the minimal supported version and targeting Node 6 is a bit of work.browerslist
does support Node 6, but does not test on it becauseuvu
(the test runner) does not support Node 6.Because of the history of this project, I would be hestitant in changing the build configuration without shipping a new major release (and dropping support for Node versions that are end of life). And since we support Node >=0.10 without testing until Node 6, I think it's fine if we remove testing for Node 6 as well.
To be clear; this does not change anything in our build or what Node versions we support, just in the way that we test changes.
