Comment (by netweb):

 Via Slack:
 > maybe we can run `check-node-version` from grunt and output just a
 "message"?

 We could use https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-run to run `check-node-
 version` then use `grunt.log.writeln` to display anything extra not
 already displayed by `check-node-version` message

 > or actually can be a warning so it stops

 Patch [attachment:44246.2.diff] would achieve this, though no message
 would be displayed other than the node/npm warning message displayed by
 `check-node-version`:

 > Error: Wanted npm version >= 6.1.0 (>=6.1.0)
 > To install npm, run `npm install -g npm@>= 6.1.0`
