PS. just out of curiosity, what is broken with nodejs16 that was working with 14 or older?
I don't think thats the right question - nodejs14 is LTS and supported upstream and imho should be available in tumbleweed because there are popular open source projects (not in tumbleweed) currently still requiring nodejs 14. I personally started developing on one of them in the last few weeks and while I thought "nah, it can't be that hard to go with nodejs16", about two days later I just deleted the whole effort as I had tens of little issues here and there, and upstream was not willing to move to nodejs16 yet because not all dependencies were compatible with 16, or required a major version update that caused fallout in the project itself that is non-trivial to resolve. I think a distro should serve its users, and not force the user to adjust to the needs of the distro. Yes, there is always a bit of a balance in that, but the balance needs to be more towards the user. Greetings, Dirk
