https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Nodejs16 == Summary == The latest release of Node.js to carry a 30-month lifecycle is the 16.x series. As with 14.x, 12.x, 10.x and 8.x before it, Fedora 35 will carry 16.x as the default Node.js interpreter for the system. The 14.x and 12.x interpreters will remain available as non-default module streams. ...snip...

Just a quick reminder, this switch will be occurring in a little over three weeks, so make sure to test your NPM packages with Node.js 16.x!

Yes, it is. I'm working with Jeroen to resolve this.
