Is regenerator-runtime still required now that async functions are standard?

The thing that requires regenerator-runtime is the Webpack / Babel code transformation step. Since old Android phones have weak support for modern features in their WebViews, we do rely on Babel to make this compatible with really outdated feature sets.

One day, we would love to create our own WebWorker-style runtime inside our app, so we can decouple ourselves from the WebViews present on devices. For now, though, this is where we are stuck.
