Updating lodash was no issue, I've published v2.6.2 with the update.

We don't use that method so it doesn't apply to us. We removed lodash in
v3.0. I think there were some issues for us to migrate off that minor
version of lodash on the 2.x line of Async.

I think a simple patch update would do the trick.

or set v3.0.0 as latest on npm, as currently it's just next and not shown by npm outdated
