Knocking out Firefox seems pretty painful from a usability standpoint, especially when answers online are floating around introduced the --best and --allowerasing (admittedly from me, but that was back when we had the libuv problem)
Not to mention the historical ugliness of gnome-shell on rawhide. Is that now par for the course, or is there anything you can do to mitigate it?

If that was 6.3.0 to 6.5.0, then it probably has to do with the fact that we added a dependency on libicu to support internationalization. That's a pretty heavily-used library, and I suspect it's causing you to need to update other stuff that relies on it.
We added the icu support in 6.3.1. Libicu is troublesome, in that it bumps SOname on every upstream release, so everything has to be rebuilt against it. Since Node.js is built against the latest release (57), it probably had to update everything that you had on your system that was depending on version 56.
