   Since source-map uses async API we can't update it without major release (with a lot of changes).

   Or maybe I understood something wrong?

   I tried to add it in 7.0, but found few big problems.

   • The minor problem is that new WASM source-map uses async API. It is not a problem in stringifier. But we need source map reading in Node#error. Moving this method to async will break too many plugins.
   • The main problem is that WASM is supported (if I understand it correctly) only from Node.js 8. We need to support Node.js 6 until April 2019.
   • source map is not the main performance problem in most PostCSS use cases.

   In result of this reasons, I decide to wait for a little until source-map update (it is painful for me too, I really like to use the latest software 😭). We will wait until:

   • Sync API will be added Non-async source map. mozilla/source-map#331
   • Node 6 support will be added or Node 6 LTS will be ended.
