Hi, we would really like a new v18 release before "before the end of the year". Our product (which is also LTS and hard for us to get updated for the clients still on that version) is broken due to nodejs/node#50977 and by not releasing this you deny our customers all security fixes included in 18.16 and up (since 18.15 is the last working version).
