Research direction
Investigate which ES6 features are causing incompatibility with Node.js versions below 4.2.4. Check the codebase for ES6 syntax usage, and evaluate the effort required to transpile or polyfill. Consider the value of supporting older versions given the project's purpose. Look at similar issues or PRs in the repository for guidance.
