Thanks for your investigation.

If I understand your notes correctly, then you did not, however, test if 
those packages actually builds (and the resulting packages work) with 
the package in experimental.

Also, I believe we must also care for packages build-depending on 
node-uglify:

Seems to me that bumping major version for uglifyjs would count as a 
"large/disruptive change" affected by the "transition freeze" in a week.

My current plan is to instead introduce the 3.x code as a separate 
package.  That should be doable before soft freeze a month from now, 
including shifting over packages to use that, without harming those 
packages working fine with the 2.x release of UglifyJS.
