Updating from Angular 7.2 to 8.0 the guide at https://update.angular.io/ says to "make sure you are using Node 12 or later". Why does Angular 8 need Node 12 (current)? What could break if I continue using Node 10 (LTS)?

Maybe that was a mistake they fixed: https://update.angular.io/

Nothing in there about Node 12 which would be a monstrosity of a disruption for companies that would then need to upgrade all of their build servers with Node 12 before thinking about creating an Angular 8 project. Happily, that's not true, you can use Node 10 or even Node 8.
