We already have docs about features in es2015. If we add a link to all the pages that have es2015 code it would be too noisy. Not to mention that there are many people using es2015 now and a there are a lot of material about 2015.\r\n\r\nClosing this now. @forgotPassword if you find anything that does not work against the corresponding node version out of the box please fire a bug :) thanks."}}
