[QUESTION] Engines of next major version?

In npm/cli we depend on node-gyp and would like to make sure the next major version is compatible with npm when it comes to engines.node.

Previously, npm used ^12.13 as the lower base and node-gyp used ^12.22 which caused the following issue: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/4987

npm@9 was recently released (but is not yet tagged latest) with the engines set to ^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0 (see our reasoning here https://github.com/npm/statusboard/issues/519).

Are there plans for a major release soon? If so, has engines.node support been discussed?

I opened two PRs to address this issue:

• #2771 which can be released on the node-gyp@9 release line
• #2770 which would be a major release
