[targos]

I will prepare a release for 2024-02-20.

Edit: it should still happen this week, but on another day because I need nodejs/node#51792 for it.

[targos]

I don't have enough time to fight against flaky tests.
If someone wants to take it over, v21.x-staging is mostly up to date and there are two open backport PRs: nodejs/node#51390, nodejs/node#51768

[marco-ippolito]

I'm trying to take over and land the backports once the CI is green.

[targos]

I'm preparing a patch release for tomorrow to quickly land nodejs/node#51998

[legendecas]

Will v21.8.0 be published before v21.x goes EOL?

[targos]

Probably not.
