Why do we require *?

Hi @toddmotto ,

I have couple of questions regrading builiding process of linkjuice,

• Why do we require gulp-clean at all.Why do we need to clean dist/ folder before running some task. I think when running some task in gulp using some plugins then is files with same name already present than they get's automatically overwritten.
• Since gulp-clean is being deprecated cant't we switch over to something like del as suggested on official gulp repo.
• Why don't we whitelist or blacklist some files before publish to npm with files key in package.json or .npmignore respectively.
• Why do we require .babelrc when we are specifying present in gulp-babel.

I am ready to take up these fixes if you think we need to fix some or all of them.

I just use the same gulp setup (mostly) for most my OSS projects, I don't really want to spend time changing/updating dependencies to try new ones out as it's only a simple JS compiler etc. If you wanna make the fixes then awesome though ! 💃
