Now that most target desktop/mobile browsers have near-complete ES2015 support (and I'm not using any ES2016+), transpiling with babel is no longer required; and has been removed.
A side-effect of this is that uglify no longer works, because it doesn't support arrow functions.
For now, gulp-uglify and the uglify() build step have been taken out (so we wear the initial cost of downloading a non-minified resource, and rely on service worker to maintain good performance).
Waiting until either uglify has full ES2015 support, or babili reaches a stable 1.0 release.
