You either need to upgrade from Node 6 or you don't.

That's nothing to do with adding a new feature, and should be planned accordingly. It's unfortunately very common for developers to hide maintenance tasks in other work, but clearly not ideal.

I agree. However, to be devil's advocate - quite a lot of developer teams aren't allowed to migrate to new systems until way too late, so it's not surprising they do it in unrelated feature requests/bug fixes.
