Node.js 4 and 5 support dropped but no major version update?

See original GitHub issue

I saw that 0.10.0 dropped Node.js 4 and 5 support ( https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/commit/4d88e052da37a71afa3407da1fccf340fe93148a )

According to semver, this would be a breaking change (IMO) and should of warranted a major version update.

If you do decide to make previous versions node.js 4/5 friendly, then you have to consider that node-tar should be linked to version 4.4.0 (or even lower) because since node-pre-gyp 0.7.0 the package.json has had tar: ^4 but they have said that v4 and v5 hasnt been supported in years, which includes their version 4 releases.

The cause for this suggestion is the grief experienced from https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/issues/406

Right, sorry, this was kind of badly written and aimed at replying to @BHare1985.

Right on @BHare1985 - I feel you on the upgrade pain. Good luck on the switch!
