OK so the developer of braces (jonschlinkert) refused to update one of braces dependencies (snapdragon) to a version that in turn drops a dependency on another one of his 1397 packages (base) ?
Ah the delights of the JS ecosystem !

But back to our issue, I follow you on 887500, but I am unsure whether 887497 really blocks 886404 ?

I mean, only one of the 4 Critical dependency warnings seems related to /usr/lib/nodejs/base/utils.js (node-base)

The other 3 are related to:
/usr/lib/nodejs/babel-core/lib/transformation/file/options/option-manager.js
/usr/lib/nodejs/babel-core/lib/transformation/file/index.js

Pravi, are you sure that all the webpack "Critical dependency" warnings would go away with the latest version of base ?
