+1 I believe it is a good idea to hold out until December. Keeping in fact that there is little time to take action right now (except informing the user) and that we have released Cordova 9.0 not so long ago. Plus, the fact that the Android and iOS new versions are coming later this year. As Bryan said, I think, everything would line up nicely for the Cordova 10 release in December.

Since Node 6.x is being deprecated by the end of this month, I am not expecting drastic action. Additionally, Node 8.x is expected to be deprecated by December. IMO, we could hold out till December to deprecate both versions and just warn users about our recommendation to upgrade in the meantime. These notices and warnings can be added in April and September as a patch or minor release. As a side note, I suspect Android Q's release (August?) and possible iOS (Sept?) to be out before December. For a major release for these new platforms, adding Node will fall in nicely.
