X-Pack for 6.x, Kibana error

[Mark Felder]

I'm considering not making ports/packages for X-Pack on ElasticSearch 6 because of the announcement that Elastic is going to be bundling it automatically as of 6.3. We are probably less than a month away from that release based on what I see with the previous release intervals.

Additionally if anyone has had time to play with Kibana6 I can't seem to get it to start with X-Pack because it throws an error. I think our Node.js is too new? This is annoying because I *will* need this at work.

This is the error I'm seeing:
