[...] *node may depend on different node versions. Thus, CI servers should be able to switch node versions for each case.* Hmm, I actually don't think that's the case. Aus can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Gaia's CI runs a particular Docker container which comes prebundled with Node 4.2. Since it appears that all of our existing tools outside of build have already moved to Node 4.2, there should be no reason to switch Node versions inside of the container. As long as the tools track with LTS, and the Docker container does as well, it should be somewhat simple to keep everything in working order on that front. If build can also target LTS, that would be very helpful.
