Make it such that babel is not required?

[benjaminhon]

I am not using JSX, however it seems like it still requires babel, could it be make such that it does not require it?

Do you mean in this project or the downstream project? In this project we publish a dist.js file that is already compiled. We have to compile the jsx. We can probably tweak the babel presets though and drop some stuff, but that would be a major bump.
