The versions of V8 used in Node.js v4.x and v6.x have already been abandoned by
upstream V8. However, Node.js needs to continue supporting these branches for
many months (Current branches) or several years (LTS branches).

should we make this consistent? Either 4.x, 6.x, and 8.x or v4.x, v6.x, and v8.x?

Deliberately without the v, because starting with 8, we refer to Node as Node 8. But I'm happy to change it if we prefer consistency.

@evanlucas hey, I'm new here and looking for ways to contribute to node, are you referring to the fact that naming conventions should be consistent?

@Alweezy yes, that is what I was referring to. I had forgotten we had changed from v.x to .x due to possible confusion with the node v8 (version 8 of node) and V8 (the JavaScript engine). If you are interested in contributing to node, I would suggest starting off by looking through the issue list and looking specifically at https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22. Thanks!

Does it make sense to list the versions and continually update? Wondering if we could just use some wording like "The versions of V8 used in Node.js have most often already been abanded by upstream V8."
