Why does a transpiler need a configuration? Isn&#x27;t the whole point of it to transform one set of script to another set? Seems to be a very basic set of default configuration items could be (and should be) integrated into said application and allow advanced users to override.<p>But yeah in node land if you don&#x27;t upgrade to the latest major you&#x27;re going to be left behind in bug and security fixes (good luck finding projects with actually maintained LTS branches and if they exist they&#x27;re almost always the previous major version and nothing further back).
