The actual set of packages that need to be rebuilt is actually very 
small - just a dozen or so modules that have binary components.

Most modules are pure javascript, which don't need rebuilding and where 
doing so will often prove nothing as we don't always have tests.

Well the question is, will the non-LTS node branch ever work for us 
given then need to provide 13 months of support - how long is the 
lifetime of the non-LTS branches?
