Crash Stats is a django app and uses django-pipeline along with uglify-js to compress and minify js static assets.

However, uglify-js doesn't support ES6 (there's a harmony branch that looks abandoned) and recent versions of d3 use ES6 (I'm pretty sure this is the problem I just hit today) and so they don't work with uglify. The uglify-js readme says to run them through babel first.

django-pipeline doesn't seem to have any compressors built-in that support ES6. There's an issue for adding support for Terser:

https://github.com/jazzband/django-pipeline/issues/733

Maybe we can switch to that and then that'd let us update d3?

Alternatively, maybe we can ditch d3 for something else? I think it's only used in the graphs in the signature report.
