what should the process be for updating default packs

Wondering when it's appropriate to update versions in Dockerfiles and things like that.

I feel like the process should be that we target the latest stable release of each supported language pack. That would mean:

• JDK 8
  • node.js LTS (v8.9.1 as of this writing)
  • Go 1.9

My understanding is that users should be committing whatever draft create bootstraps, so we shouldn't be concerned about "breaking" applications if a major release is out (e.g. we update the Go pack in prep for Go 2.0, but the user ran draft create on a Go 1.x project), but that is a discussion point I'd like to discuss:

• How are users using draft create today? Is the above assumption correct, and if not, how come?
• If we decide to officially support older language releases (like Python 2 and Python 3), when do we consider the old pack deprecated?
• Do we want to prompt the user to choose between the two language packs as described in #308?
• Do we want to propose forking as a good alternative if a user relies on a specific runtime?
