Overview

Mocha currently depends an older major version of workerpool:

Suggested Solution

[email protected] is the latest. It'd be nice to bump to that, so users aren't stuck on a dep that's many major versions behind.

Alternatives

This isn't critical and I don't think we need to do it. But it's nice ecosystem cleanup in general.

I don't know of popular alternatives to workerpool and haven't looked for them.

Additional Info

workerpool@9 still supports Node.js versions older than Mocha's minimums, so I don't think that'd be a blocker.
