Any chance of upgrading www/npm to 5.6.0?

Hi,

Currently, with npm-5.4.2_2, I'm getting:

WARNING: You are likely using a version of node-tar or npm that is
incompatible with this version of Node.js.
Please use either the version of npm that is bundled with Node.js, or
a version of npm (> 5.5.1 or < 5.4.0) or node-tar (> 4.0.1) that is
compatible with Node.js 9 and above.

 6: v8::internal::Builtin_HandleApiCall(int, v8::internal::Object**,
v8::internal::Isolate*) [/usr/local/bin/node]

It looks like the latest version of npm addresses the incompatibility
between npm & node. Any chance of an upgrade soon?

Cheers.
