fd02dac is already in v14.x |

@addaleax IIUC, this is OK ABI-wise because the new element doesn't change the other values of the enum? But ParseEncoding can now return this new value and programs that don't expect it would break? Can we do something about it (other than not backporting the feature)?

@targos Yes, exactly, it’s ABI-compatible but not API-compatible, strictly speaking, and I don’t think we could really do something about it other than modifying ParseEncoding() to not return that value when called from userland code.
The problem with that is that, since we fall back to a default encoding in that case, ParseEncoding(isolate, "base64url") == LATIN1, which would seem like a bug.
I’d probably just leave this as-is, it’s unlikely to cause problems for a lot of addons (and even then only when somebody actually uses base64url with it).
