It took them so much time... In the meantime I moved to bun. Not going back to this node mess...

I mean, it has been out for a while now - this is just backporting to older node versions.

Yeah, this whole flag thing is quite cumbersome to use. Especially in the team. Great that it's no longer behind the flag... But still. Can't use fetch because it's also some flag, etc etc
