Bug Description

This package with an ultra ancient version does not make any sense.
It would be better to provide an installer for the latest LTS release.
This is wasted work done here, please instead focus your efforts on stabilizing important system features, thank you!

With nodejs version 6.x entering maintenance cycle [1], it would be reasonable to move it to "legacy" package, and update nodejs package to version 8.x. That would make quite a few developers happy.
