I'm not saying, that we want to drop support for Node v0.6, but I would like to drop active support for it, in terms of backwards compatibility issues, if any.
The last version of the 0.6 branch is v0.6.8 and it was published on 20 Jan 2012. That's 2 years ago. People should've really got their shit together by now and update to a newer version.
It seems like even the npm registry is moving away from 0.6 as no npm install will work without additional help. That is why all Travis builds for 0.6 are failing. And that is, why I want to remove the test runner for 0.6. It just costs Travis additional ressources, that could be used otherwise.
