[email protected] is using [email protected] which does not support node v8

I think we should bump deps and upgrade to [email protected] dropping legecy node support while keep [email protected] work with old node

This has broken installations of storybook 5.3, which supports node 8 and relies on inquirer@^7.0.0. Lock files are fine, but they're not sufficient for me who is trying to install that version of storybook into a project that is so far locked into node 8.

Please be a good citizen and follow semver. If you'd like to drop node 8 support, that's cool, but the right thing to do would be to release a new major version. There's no telling how many other packages and libraries might be broken by not doing so.

Sorry about this, it's really hard to track breaking old Node version when bumping library. You should use package-lock to make sure this doesn't happen if you run versions who're out of LTS.

Since Node 8 is out of LTS, I'll leave the package as is. Feel free to downgrade to the previous version.
