Hi there, we don't recommend upgrading build dependencies unless you're confident that the newer version won't break any functionality. If this is something you'd like to do, you can fork Kibana and make changes to the vega dependencies in `package.json`. This process will probably involve a lot of investigation of the codebase and a careful, methodical approach to ensure nothing is broken. See our [contributing docs](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for guidance on how to get started. I'm not familiar with the vega dependencies, but feel free to ask questions on the forum as you delve into this and run into issues.

Thanks,  
CJ
